At Trinity we often explore the significance that we are all made in the image and likeness of God and the social implications of this; and questioned what happens when others are not treated fairly, in light of this knowledge. This is not just in the classroom but throughout the school.
One of the ways we address this is through Catholic Social Teaching. Catholic Social Teaching offers a way of thinking, being, and seeing the world.
The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. (Catholic Social Teaching Principles)
The dignity of every person, independent of ethnicity, creed, gender, sexuality, age or ability, is the foundation of Catholic Social Teaching. No human being should have their dignity or freedom compromised. Poverty, hunger, oppression and injustice make it impossible to live a life commensurate with this dignity. (Catholic Social Teaching Principles)
Without going too deep into detail about some the issues going on in the world currently, we give our students the opportunity to recognise the dignity of all people and an understanding that it is a responsibility for us to make sure that those in need are cared for and valued.
Kind regards,
