Course Notes

During Year 9 students will have the opportunity to look at everyday events and traditions.

Unit One – What’s To Be Done?

By studying two key figures from history we will identify how their religious convictions helped them fight non-violently in order to bring about the changes necessary for society to live in greater harmony.

Unit Two – Where’s the Answer?

We will study how people have expressed their deepest values and commitments. We will consider religious texts and the range of meaning relevant for today’s world which have been attached to the teachings found within them.

Unit Three – Life’s Journeys

Life is a journey where we all experience both successes and failures. We all have different experiences, which are valid in some way or other. We need to learn from these experiences if we are to grow as individuals. We will spend time looking at how some people mark important events along their journey through life.
