Religious Education Curriculum
Our concept for investigation this term is sustainability. Our focus will be, Be Still and Know that I Am God and be a Steward of Creation. Students from Kindergarten to Year 6 will be exploring:
- what makes up God’s Creation,
- what is a steward and how we fulfill that role in practical ways,
- Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si
- how prayer is a practice of sustainability
God of all Creation You gave us a world of gifts to share with all our brothers and sisters; soils, plants, animals, water, air and more. Transform our hearts and minds to care for our common home. Let us see and feel your presence in our sacred land and be in wonder and awe. Remind us of the dignity of all living things and to tread lightly on this earth. Be with us as we take action and seek environmental justice for all. We give you thanks and praise for all of Creation.
Amen
“When we can see God reflected in all that exists, our hearts are moved to praise the Lord for all his creatures and to worship in union with them.” Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ #87
