Year 8 students have investigated the Ancestor Stories of Abraham, Sarah, and their descendants. Through their assessment task, they retold one of these stories using a medium of their choice, demonstrating their understanding of Hebrew culture and explaining the significance of beliefs and practices within the narrative. Their creative responses, captured in the photos, showcase both imagination and thoughtful interpretation.
In Year 9, students have been studying Jewish Jesus, deepening their understanding of Jesus’ life within its Jewish cultural and historical context. They explored the traditions, laws, and customs at the time and considered how these shaped Jesus’ ministry and message.
In the senior years, Year 10 students have been exploring Faith and Spirituality, including researching a chosen religious tradition and analysing its beliefs, sacred texts, rituals, ethics, and symbols. Through this inquiry, students are developing a deeper appreciation of how spirituality shapes identity, meaning, and community.
Year 12 students are currently studying Made in the Image of God (MITIOG) while also engaging in lessons from the Child Protection Curriculum (CPC). Students explore human dignity, respectful relationships, ethical decision-making, and the importance of moral integrity when navigating complex situations. These studies encourage students to reflect on their values and consider how faith and personal responsibility shape the choices they make in everyday life.
