Religious Education
Year 9
The Year 9 programme introduces students to the six strands of the Anglican Schools' Curriculum. These are: The Bible and Jesus; Christian Doctrine and Worship; Church History; World Religions; Ethics, Morals and Values; Personal Faith and Philosophical Issues
This is done through a focus on the themes of: “My Story, Our Story, Her Story, God's Story.” The idea of “Story” will be a key motif throughout the Y9-13 RE programme. While the World Religions strand is introduced in Years 9 & 10, there is no explicit focus on this topic until Years 11 & 12.
In Year 9 each class begins with silent, private journaling as a spiritual practice - this will be done throughout the student's time at St Hilda's and all journals will be returned to the student in Y13 when she has the opportunity to reflect on her journey through her time here.
