The Intermediate Religious Education curriculum takes a non confessional approach. Various religions are included in this program and beliefs, doctrines, practices and history of each are covered with sensitivity and respect. The curriculum creates a context for students to recognize the diversity of religion and how it has influenced and continues to influence individuals and society. It enables and encourages students to grow spiritually and morally into informed, caring and contributing members of society. Students develop an appreciation for their own beliefs and values, and the beliefs and values of others. They acquire an understanding of the contribution that religions make to human life.
