Religious Education

Our Religious Education program is based on the guidelines for the Archdiocese of Melbourne.

It includes ‘The Catechesis of The Good Shepherd’.

The children are provided with a diverse range of faith and life experiences that nurture their relationship with God, and assist them to know the goodness of themselves and others.

Parents are encouraged to participate in Religious Education Programs, particularly when the children celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation (Year Two),  First Holy Communion (Year Three) and Confirmation (Year Six).

Family masses are also an important part of our school program. The dates of Family Masses are included in the school calendar.

The Good Shepherd Parish Atrium is a dedicated room that is integral to developing the children’s understanding of religious life. It provides materials and replicas found in church, that the children can engage with.
