13. Our Goal @ Good Sam Our Goal @ Good Sam (down the track) Ultimately our goal for Faith/ Life Inquiry is to connect the two ideas (faith/life) so that they become so fused that it is impossible to comprehend one aspect without the other. Research says that as a result of this Hermeneutical Communicative Dialogue Model learners become more actively informed Christian citizens and ultimately ‘stronger’ in their faith.

14. However, at the moment… A couple of things to note: In the below the line planning we insert both the RE and Inquiry and label appropriately, you might even have to mark them both RE/Inquiry because its hard to nominate which one specifically. As a result it is imperative that you have your Learning Intention planned prior to the learning activity.
