Faith and Life

Purpose and Structure

Faith and Life is a core subject that runs for a single 75-minute session each week for the full year. Students complete four units of study: two compulsory units (Ethics and Worldview) and two electives of their choice.  

Elective choices include: 

• Philosophy
• God and the Arts
• Science and Faith
• Modern Challenges for Young People
• Spiritual Practices

• Text and Traditions Lite

   

This subject supports students in exploring how the Christian faith shapes identity, values, and decision-making. Students engage with a range of ethical frameworks and reflect on how their own beliefs inform their perspectives and choices.

In addition, students are encouraged to develop critical awareness of the social, cultural, and personal influences that shape different beliefs and values. They learn to thoughtfully engage with contemporary issues and consider how a biblical perspective can inform their responses to challenges or ideas they may encounter in the future.
