Year 12 RE Service Groups

As a part of their Religious Education program this term, Year 12 students have started taking part in a service based group project, which run over five RE lessons. These groups are giving students the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding and practical application of everyday courage, and to live out the values of the Kingdom of God. The groups are underway, and students are making the most of their experiences so far.

Groups include:

• Cooking for Camp Campaspe

• Caring for the environment through tree planting and sustainability

• Caring for the vulnerable through visits to R M Begg in Kyneton

• Caring for women and children by making toys for McAuley Services

We look forward to hearing more about these project groups as the term goes on, listening to what students have learnt about themselves and others, and seeing some of their finished products.

Year 7 MACS Curriculum Trial

Earlier this year, it was announced in our College newsletter that a new RE curriculum would be developed for schools across the Archdiocese of Melbourne, with Sacred Heart taking part in its trial phase.

As part of this trial, four Year 7 RE classes have been exploring a new unit of work focused on Moses and the Exodus. It has so far been a valuable opportunity for both our students and staff to contribute to the future of RE, and to support excellence in teaching and learning at Sacred Heart. We look forward to sharing teacher feedback with MACS next month.

Thank you to Mrs Freya Egberts, Mrs Andrea Knight, and Ms Tara Wilkes for their commitment in teaching the trial. Their creative resources and collegiality has been very appreciated, and enjoyed by students.

Please check out some of the creative work produced by our students!
