Year 7 Religion, Catholic Studies

Waverley College implements the Religious Education Program Faithful to God, Faithful to People, in common with all systemic and most private Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Sydney.

The aim of the program is to assist students towards:

• making sense of everyday life experiences in the broader contexts of mystery, complexity, confusion and awe
• gaining access to and understanding the Scriptures, the traditions of the Catholic community, its stories, its experiences and its teachings
• celebrating with others the mystery and life of the Risen Christ
• responding to the activity of God in their lives and in the whole of creation.

The text To Know, Worship and Love used as a reference for Waverley College students in Year 7.
