Semester 1
During Semester 1, students will focus on the concept of prayer as communication with God, expressing our relationship with God, both individually and communally. In investigating prayer, students will consider a range of formal and informal prayer forms.
Students will also investigate some major events in Church history and in the history of Australia and consider how they have shaped the Church in our society today. They will explore the impact Australia society and history has had in forming the Australian Catholic Church as well as its unique identity and characteristics.
Semester 2
Throughout Semester 2, students will investigate the Synoptic Gospel relevant to the liturgical year in terms of its context, content, structure, purpose, themes and audience. Students will also reflect on the impact of this unique portrait of Jesus for Christians today and make comparisons to the other Synoptic Gospels.
In this semester, students will also examine the contribution that Christianity makes to understanding the place of humanity in God’s creation and the development of an authentic attitude of stewardship towards the environment.
