Prendiville Catholic College follows guidelines for Religious Education provided by Catholic Education Western Australia. Catholic curriculum and Religious Education are guided by the Bishops of Western Australia. The aim of Religious Education is that students know and understand the Gospel and can bring this to life in the College and into the wider world. It is part of the mission of the Church to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. Religious Education complements experiences such as retreats, liturgies and prayer as well as activities in service learning. Ideally, it helps students understand such experiences as part of Christian life and encountering what is sacred in our faith.

Topics in Year 8 Religious Education are:

• Belonging and acceptance in Catholic communities
• The universal need for God
• Creation, God’s original plan
• Growing in the image of God
