A Look at Learning in Religious Education

We've been very busy and engaged in the Religious Education (RE) classrooms!

Our Year 8 RE students have started a fascinating unit as they delve into all things Christmas. Specifically, they are studying the Nativity stories as presented in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. This close examination helps them understand the similarities and differences between the two stories and their impact on how we celebrate Christmas today.

Meanwhile, our Year 11 Religion and Society students have been showcasing their historical understanding and presentation skills. They are currently delivering their Socratic Circles Oral Presentations on the compelling topic of how religion has changed throughout history in Australia. The level of research and thoughtful debate has been outstanding.

Year 11 Reflection Day: Preparing for Leadership

On Thursday 23 October, our Year 11 students participated in their special Reflection Day. It was a valuable opportunity for them to step away from the usual classroom structure and focus on community and personal growth. The day was spent connecting with each other and, significantly, focusing on their crucial role as Year 12 leaders for the upcoming 2026 school year. We look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on the school community.
