Religion and Society
The Religion and Society (RS) empowers all students to become informed, self-aware, responsible, healthy and connected citizens ready to respond confidently to the challenges we face in our communities with compassion, courage and creativity.
Within Religious Education, we explore people’s religious and cultural beliefs and the difference this makes to how we live so that students can gain the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to understand and handle questions raised by religion and belief, reflecting on their own ideas and ways of living.
