In particular, they develop their understanding of the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed and the Decalogue.Students explore contextual information about sacred texts, using a range of Biblical tools, to gain a deeper awareness of these texts and how they influence communities of believers. They examine Church teaching and basic principles of Christian morality that influence the way Christians live out their faith, individually and communally.Students examine ways in which believers nurture their spiritual life through prayer, ritual, the sacraments and sacred texts. They develop their understanding of prayer in the Christian tradition through an exploration of Lectio Divina and Ignatian Meditation. They investigate the relationship between the Sacraments of the Church, the life and ministry of Jesus, and the faith journey and life experiences of believers.

Year 9

DescriptorIn Year 9, students develop their understanding of the experience of sin throughout human history and some ways in which the Church responded to the presence of good and evil in the past (c.1750 CE - 1918 CE). They learn about the priestly, prophetic and kingly work of Jesus Christ and ways in which believers live their Christian vocation by participation in this work. They consider sources of inspiration, strength and guidance for believers today, including Catholic social teaching, the three forms of penance (prayer, fasting and almsgiving), Scripture, celebration of the Sacraments of Healing (Penance and Anointing of the Sick), and personal and communal prayer experiences. They are introduced to two forms of Biblical criticism, namely form criticism and narrative criticism, and develop the ability to apply these to help their understanding, interpretation and use of a range of Biblical texts. They continue to develop their understanding of prayer in the Christian tradition through an exploration of the writings of Christian spiritual fathers and mothers, prayers for forgiveness and healing, Christian Meditation and meditative prayer practices, including praying with labyrinths.Students learn about the divergent understandings of God (Allah, God, G*d) in the monotheistic religions (Islam, Christianity, Judaism). They develop their understanding of three foundational beliefs of Christianity (the Incarnation, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus) and consider their significance for believers.

Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 9, students demonstrate how the application of Biblical criticism helps the reader’s understanding, interpretation and use of Old Testament and New Testament texts. They examine the divergent understandings of God (Allah, God, G*d) in the monotheistic religions (Islam, Christianity, Judaism). They examine three foundational beliefs of Christianity (the Incarnation, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus) and draw conclusions about the significance of these in the lives of believers.Students refer to examples of the co-existence of good and evil throughout human history to form their own interpretation about the experience of sin in the world. They analyse the causes and effects of events and developments in the Church from c.1750 CE – c.1918 CE, and make judgements about their importance. They explain the significance of the writings of various religious and lay leaders at that time. They evaluate the impact of Catholic social teaching on an individual’s moral behaviour; and on the Church’s response to emerging moral questions. They explain the significance of the three forms of penance (prayer, fasting and almsgiving) and the celebration of the Sacraments of Healing (Penance and Anointing of the Sick) in the lives of believers past and present. They examine ways in which believers live their Christian vocation, and distinguish between their participation in the priestly, prophetic and kingly work of Jesus Christ. They analyse ways in which believers nurture their spiritual lives through personal and communal prayer experiences, including the prayers and writings of Christian spiritual fathers and mothers; prayers for forgiveness and healing; Christian Meditation and meditative prayer practices, including praying with labyrinths. They participate respectfully in a variety of these prayer experiences.

Year 10

Descriptor

In Year 10, students learn about various ways in which humans have understanding of the mystery of God or the ‘Other’, which is ultimately beyond human language, concepts and stories. These include the human experience of the created world; the valuable insights of the major world religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism) as reflected in their core beliefs and practices; the different representations of God in Old Testament and New Testament texts by various human authors in different historical, social and cultural contexts; Christian spiritual writings that search for the mystery of God in the midst of world events and the course of human history; and participation in personal and communal prayer that can lead believers to contemplation (the simple awareness of the presence of God). Students explore how the Church has responded to the range of unprecedented threats to both human ecology and environmental ecology facing Australian and the Modern World (c. 1918 to the present) from science, technology, materialism, consumerism and political ideologies. They develop critical understanding of the various sources that guide the Church’s action in the world today, including the teaching of Jesus and the early Church, the principles of Catholic social teaching and the reasoned judgements of conscience, carefully formed and examined. They examine the Eucharist as the primary and indispensable source of nourishment for the spiritual life of believers, who carry on Jesus’ mission in the world. They continue to develop their understanding of prayer in the Christian tradition through an exploration of Centering Prayer; prayers for justice, peace and the environment, including the Prayer of St Francis, the Magnificat and the Canticle of Creation; and meditative prayer practices, including praying with the help of nature.

Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students explain how the mystery of God can be named and understood through the experience of the created world. They analyse core beliefs and practices of the major world religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism) and explain how these reflect the human understanding of God or the ‘Other’. They use evidence from Old Testament and New Testament texts to explain different representations of God by various human authors in different historical, social and cultural contexts and evaluate their application for a modern Australian context. They critically analyse the efforts of a range of Christian spiritual writings to search for the mystery of God in the midst of world events and the course of human history.

Students analyse ways in which the Church has responded to a range of emerging threats to both human ecology and environmental ecology. They explain the significance of various sources that guide the Church’s action in the world (including the teaching of Jesus and the early Church; the principles of Catholic social teaching and the reasoned judgements of conscience) and that nourish the spiritual life of believers (including the Eucharist, and individual and communal prayer for justice, peace and the environment). They develop and justify their own response to a contemporary moral question, using evidence from these various sources to support their response. They participate respectfully in a variety of personal and communal prayer experiences, including meditative prayer; prayers for justice, peace and the environment; and meditative prayer practices.
