Religion Curriculum at St Kevin's School Geebung
At St Kevin's School Religious Education is a partnership of family, school and the sponsoring local church communities. Our ecumenical school setting has as its purpose the provision of a Christian education for its students.
As a member of the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Religious Education at St Kevin's is understood to consist of two distinct but complementary dimensions, which Gabriel Moran (1991) describes as “teaching people religion and teaching people to be religious in a particular way”.
The first dimension, most commonly referred to as the classroom learning and teaching of religion, is focused on Religious Education as an educational activity. It utilises a range of quality learning and teaching processes and resources to meet the diverse needs and capacities of learners from the various Christian religious denominations.
The second dimension, faith formation, is reflected in the religious life of our school with particular ecumenical focus on the family and local faith communities.
The time allocation for the classroom religion program at St Kevin's School is a minimum of 2.5 hours per week. This equates to 92 - 100 hours per year, based on 37 - 40 available teaching weeks per year.
