In Religious Education at St Pat’s, we follow a knowledge rich curriculum that explores religion through the four key strands of ‘Sacred Texts’, ‘Beliefs’, ‘Church’ and ‘Christian Life’. Every term, Religious Education in each Stage is closely integrated with the MAPPEN unit of learning. In Term Three, students will be exploring concepts of social justice. This concept will be shared throughout student’s learning, as they learn about community and how we help each other to live happily and safely together, for the good of all. Students will learn about Jesus’ life and his messages and will explore how these can be applied to how we live today. Each stage will look at different aspects of our school and church community and will engage in exploring scriptures and prayer relevant to their stage of learning.
From the Curriculum Coordinator
PDHPE is one of our key learning areas in the curriculum and includes developing and refining movement skills. Yesterday, our students were able to practice these skills as they participated in field and track events. See below for an overview of the day from two of our senior students.
The Athletics Carnival by Sophie
On Thursday, we had our sports carnival. Some of the events included High Jump, Long Jump and Discus. I would say that the most enjoyable event was the High Jump. We all had lots of fun. While we were doing the activities, a lot of people were cheering everyone on and showing a lot of sportsmanship.
The Athletics Carnival by Hannah
On Thursday the 20th of July, students from Year 3 up to Year 6 had their Athletics Carnival. The activities were Discus, High jump, Shot put and Long jump. There were also 800 metre races, 200 metre and 100 metre races. A lot of people participated in the activities and had good sportsmanship and didn’t care if they won or lost.
On Thursday, our Year 6 students spent time reading with their buddies. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon after a busy day of athletics.
