Differentiation in Religious Education 

This term, each class’ Religious Education ‘Easter’ unit is using contemporary effective teaching strategies which promote student engagement and provide students an opportunity to have ownership over their learning. Students are developing their skills to work collaboratively and be critical, creative and innovative thinkers. Last Friday we had Catherine Hailstone (Education Officer – Primary: Catholic Life, Education and Mission Team) from the Catholic Education office come out to see the great work that the students have been doing in Religious Education.
