Year 9 - Religious Education*

Overview

In Year 9 Religious Education, students will examine their role in wider society and the world. By studying a variety of social justice issues, students will explore how the Catholic Tradition challenges everyone to contribute in a meaningful way. Through the study of Catholic Social Teaching and the social principals of other faiths, students are asked to examine and communicate their own personal decision making and how they hold themselves accountable for their actions today and into the future.

*Students may apply to do the elective options of Cantabile or Youth Ministry in place of Core RE.
