Background to the GNFL Year 7-8 Project
The Catholic Education Tasmania Good News for Living Religious Education Curriculum was first published in 2005 and has been refreshed to align with the language and frameworks of the Australian Curriculum. For Religious Education, the core focus is the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. Our Catholic beliefs are framed in Good News for Living via eight integrated theological Elements: God, Jesus, Church, Scripture, Sacraments, Prayer, Christian Life and Religion & Society.

The GNFL curriculum and Resource Banks have been republished within the GNFL RE Hub for Foundation to Year 6. The GNFL Year 7-8 Project is the next phase of development of the GNFL RE Hub.
RE+ Growth
RE+ Growth
The cross is central, centred, upright, clear and not obscured. The cross glows with the radiance of the risen Christ.
From the light of the Cross (Christ) our centre, new growth emerges, strong green growth, alive and strong.
The circle is also God who is eternal. The circle is incomplete at this stage as we too are incomplete but en route to being completed in Christ. Our life in God is the green growth which appears to be new and continuing. In this circle as in God there is no beginning and no end.
The plant takes some time to develop the leaves so we too need to stay close to the Cross so that we too can develop new growth in God’s time. This speaks to us of prayer as the leaves are only capable of developing after being in silence and close to the circle of life.
The leaves too are a reminder of Jesus saying, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches’.
The leaves have work to do as do we. The leaves spread the essence of the plant and enable the plant to be identified (by their fruits you will know them). It symbolises missionary discipleship, our life in Christ.
