Religious Education

On Wednesday, students from Grades 5 and 6 visited the Shroud of Turin Exhibition at Marist Regional College. The Shroud of Turin is a centuries old linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man. A man that millions believe to be Jesus of Nazareth. Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed study and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today than we ever have before.

The Shroud Exhibition builds upon the success of the Blessed Carlo Acutis Miracles of the Eucharist Exhibition and First-class Relic that our students visited in 2024, and provides another unique opportunity to nurture the faith formation of both students and staff in our Catholic schools, providing the opportunity for rich learning, reflection and Prayer.

Students in Grade 4 have completed a practice assessment this week for the Religious Literacy Assessment. The Religious Literacy Assessment is completed by Grade 4 students every year to gather data on students understanding and knowledge of the Catholic Faith.
