St Flannan's Religious Education Program
St Flannan's Religious Education Program documents how our school provides the entitlement of each student to knowledge, understanding and skills in Religious Education that provide a foundation for successful and lifelong learning consistent with the Vision for Religious Education:
"The schools and colleges of the Archdiocese of Brisbane aspire to educate and form students who are challenged to live the gospel of Jesus Christ and who are literate in the Catholic and broader Christian tradition so that they might participate critically and authentically in faith contexts and wider society." (Brisbane Catholic Education Office)
The St Flannan's Religious Education Program shows a clear alignment between the Religious Education Curriculum, Archdiocese of Brisbane (2003) - the teaching of religion - and the Religious life of the School - teaching people to be religious in a particular way. The Program incorporates four Elements:
