FAITH DEVELOPMENT
Religious EducationReligious Education is a Key Learning Area and is part of the Australian Curriculum for Catholic schools. Children participate in a Religious Education program in every class based around:
· Beliefs
· Church
· Sacred Texts
· Christian Life
Complementing the in-class Religion program is the faith life within the school. The school pillars promote the value expectations of all members of the St Anthony’s community:
· Respect
· Justice
· Love of learning
· Community Spirit
Sacramental PreparationFor further information regarding Sacramental preparation, contact the parish office phone 46361737 or speak directly to Sr Maria Joyner who coordinates St Anthony’s parish. Dates and program details are published in both the Parish Bulletin and the School newsletter.
School Liturgical CelebrationsAll students are given opportunities to celebrate their faith through class, and whole school liturgical celebrations. This includes prayers, religious assemblies and the celebration of Mass on several occasions throughout the school year. Liturgy enables the children to have a personal encounter with Christ and further develop their faith in God. Celebrations may occur in classrooms, the hall, in the playground and in the Parish church. Parents/caregivers are always welcome to join with the students for liturgical celebrations. The School Newsletter notifies the school community of upcoming dates.
Parents & friends are always welcome at liturgies.
