A Catholic religion curriculum

is hope filled and underpinned

by the beliefs that: All people are created in the

image and likeness of God

Knowledge is life long and life

wide, holistic, rational and

leads to wisdom Human beings are not the

masters of creation but rather

co- creators with God and

therefore have a special

responsibility to steward the

earth and the universe

Life is sacramental: meaning that God is

experienced in the everyday, in people, in

nature and in the world

and therefore there is no

such thing as a secular

subject in a Catholic

school. The role of a teacher is

one of transformation.
