Vision for Religious Education
St Anthony’s Vision for Religious Education faithfully aligns itself with both the BCE Vision for Religious Education and the BCE Learning and Teaching Framework which state:
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. (Vision for Religious Education 2013)
As a Catholic Christian community we
educate all to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as successful, creative
and confident, active and informed learners empowered to shape and
enrich our world. (Learning and Teaching Framework 2012
The Vision for Religious Education
challenges students to be a religious voice in the world. The Vision
gives greater prominence and a renewed orientation to the critical
interpretation and evaluation of culture. Through vibrant and engaging
Religious Education, students become active constructors of culture
rather than passive consumers.
St Anthony’s Vision for Religious Education
At St Anthony’s we are a Catholic Faith
Community that is challenged to authentically live the Gospel of Jesus
Christ in the tradition of St Francis. We strive to educate our students
to become active, literate and informed learners who are empowered to
contribute and make a difference to the community in which they live. We
use the example of St Francis to empower us to live out the gospel
values of Jesus. We recognise that our Franciscan values of Respect,
Reverencing Creation, Contemplation, Shared Responsibility and Joy guide
all that we do and underpin our Vision and Mission for our school.
