Inquiry Learning

What is inquiry-based learning?

An old adage states: "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand." The last part of this statement is the essence of inquiry-based learning. Inquiry implies involvement that leads to understanding. Furthermore, involvement in learning implies possessing skills and attitudes that permit you to seek resolutions to questions and issues while you construct new knowledge.

Religious Education

Introduction
Through the Religious Education class programme we provide opportunities for children
to learn what it is to be Catholic – that is, what Catholics believe, and how they
celebrate, live and pray.

Structure
The expected learning in Religious Education is spread through six Learning Strands and
four Learning Modules. These identify the major content areas to be covered.
