Religious Education

The defining features communicate clearly what we believe is at the heart of Catholic education and give direction and guidance to those whose daily interactions with others bring to life the vision of an authentic Catholic school as living out the Gospel message:

​

• Give witness to the message of Jesus and the mission of the Church

• Have a clear Catholic identity

• Be communities of care

• Offer a relevant and holistic curriculum of quality teaching and learning

• Be open and accessible to all who seek their values

• Be characterized by inclusive partnerships within a community of faith

 
Catholic schools have a special and vital role in the Church's mission in education; through providing a learning environment that is spiritually nurturing, intellectually challenging and emotionally caring. Catholic school communities will continue to provide support to lifelong learners so that they will be able and willing to envision and contribute to the creation of a just, equitable and compassionate world

Religious Education at St Brigid’s

The aim of Religious Education at St Brigid’s is to “develop students’ knowledge and understandings of Christianity in the light of Jesus and the Gospel, and its unfolding story and diversity within contemporary Australian and global society. It expands students’ spiritual awareness and religious identity, fostering their capacities and skills of discerning, interpreting, thinking critically, seeking truth and making meaning. It challenges and inspires their service to others and engagement in the Church and the world.”

The Religious Education curriculum has been developed by the Catholic Education in the Diocese of Rockhampton. All St Brigid’s students participate in Religious Education lessons daily.
