Our curriculum will develop and deepen students’ knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Faith, other faith traditions and worldviews, and their influence on the life of a believer. It will support them to understand themselves as unique and worthy which reflects the belief that we are all made in the image of God. This will encourage students to reflect spiritually and think ethically and theologically to give a personal response to questions of meaning and purpose which will enable them to become active and responsible citizens in a multicultural world. You will study three components: • Component 1: A Study of Religion: Christianity This component provides learners with the opportunity to undertake an in-depth and broad study of their chosen religion covering themes ranging from significant social and historical developments in religious thought – challenges from science, secularism, migration, etc. to practices that shape religious identity. • Component 2: Philosophy of Religion This component provides learners with the opportunity to undertake an in-depth and broad study of fundamental philosophical themes, ranging from arguments for and against the existence of God to religious experience. • Component 3: Religion and Ethics This component provides learners with the opportunity to undertake an in-depth and broad study of fundamental ethical themes, ranging from the application of ethical theories to issues such as animal experimentation to free will and determinism.
Students require a minimum of Grade 4 in either English Language or English Literature and a Grade 4 in Math's. In total five grade 4’s are required.
