The RE department at SMWCA are committed to recognising, valuing and educating every individual in their care as special and unique, created in God’s own image and likeness. Saint Pope John Paul II described RE in a Catholic school as the “core of the core curriculum.”
The special role of Religious Education, in the curriculum of a Catholic school, enables the school to fulfil its mission to educate the whole person. The Catholic Education Service states that the purpose of the Catholic school is to “help parents, parishes and teachers to hand on the deposit of faith in its fullness to a new generation of young people so that they may come to understand the richness of the Catholic faith and thereby be drawn into a deeper communion with Christ and his Church.”
The RE department at SMWCA strive for each student in their care to leave the school with an extensive knowledge of the Bible and the teachings of the Church, with a firm understanding that they are a loved child of God, called to live out the Christian faith in the wider world as a disciple of Christ.
