Religious Education
“..bringing the love and joy of the Gospel to all it undertakes.”
​
"I am faithful to the Gospel,
because we are faithful to the Gospel."
Our Catholic Way of Being is an idea that connects our Catholic identity in a way that is unique to Holy Spirit school. This idea is grounded in the belief that every interaction shapes culture and that it is in these everyday interactions that we care for, support and nurture each other as learners, as healthy individuals, as social beings and as people of faith.
​
“From the first moment that a student sets foot in a Catholic school, he or she ought to have the impression of entering a new environment, one illumined by the light of faith, and having its own unique characteristics”.
This love and joy is demonstrated by:
​
-
Nurturing each person’s development and relationship with God.
-
Bearing witness to this love and joy through the quality of personal relationships.
-
Ensuring that Catholic beliefs, teachings and values permeate learning experiences.
-
Bearing witness to the possibility of a truly personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
-
Building community permeated by freedom and love.
-
Inviting learning that integrates the light of faith, the joy of discovery and the richness of diverse cultures.
-
Guiding learners as they make meaning for life and form their identity.
-
Supporting learners to imagine and work towards a world of justice, peace and flourishing for all of creation.
