Religious Literacy Assessment
Next Monday, 4 August, Year 4 will sit their digital Religious Literacy Assessment. If any student is away on this date, the back up date is Tuesday, 5 August. This assessment evaluates how students use literacy skills to communicate their understanding of the religious tradition to themselves, peers, themselves, peers, teachers and members of the wider community.
The assessment involves all Year 4 students across the Diocese of Wollongong and consists of a multiple choice paper. Questions are focused on students’ knowledge and understanding of Religious Education concepts from Kindergarten to Year 4 and what they mean for their way they live.
Data gathered from the assessment are analysed to inform teaching in schools, and to recognise and celebrate learning in the domain of Religious Education in the Wollongong Diocese.
Save the Date
Friday, 15 August is the Feast of the Assumption and there will be a whole school mass, celebrated also with Stella Maris. All families are warmly welcome to attend.
Wednesday Faith & Learning
This week there was no Faith and Learning visit due to our NAIDOC Liturgy. Next week the first Faith and Learning visit for Term 3 will be Year 2. We warmly invite all parents, family and friends to join Year 2 for mass at 9am and then head on down to the classroom to see what the students are learning about.
