​​Vision for Religious Education ​RE Classes.jpg

Mt Maria College Petrie shares and promotes the Vision for Religious Education articulated by Brisbane Catholic Education and the wider church. This vision includes the two dimensions of formation, namely, of students’ religious literacy and their personal faith.

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. With this in mind the College will follow the Vision Statement of the New Religious Education Curriculum which states: 

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, 2013).

The Vision for Religious Education challenges students to be a religious voice in the world. It 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. In this way, students are challenged to live the gospel of Jesus Christ in their everyday lives.

The Vision for Religious Education appropriately aligns with the goal for learning and teaching as articulated in the Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) Learning and Teaching Framework (2012). As a Catholic Christian community in the Marist tradition, 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.

Religious Education at Mt Maria College Petrie seeks to develop the religious literacy of students in light of the Catholic Christian tradition, so that they might participate critically and authentically in contemporary culture. We pride outselves in offering a Religious Education program that is relevant to our students and reverent to the Catholic tradition.
