At Our Lady of Mt Carmel, faith is woven into the everyday life and learning of our school. In partnership with families, we nurture each child’s spiritual growth and religious literacy, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith while encouraging them to live with compassion, hope, courage and respect for others.
Religious Education at Our Lady of Mt Carmel embraces two important and complementary dimensions: learning about religion and learning to live a life of faith. Through engaging classroom learning, prayer, liturgy, reflection and service, students explore Catholic beliefs, Scripture and traditions while discovering how faith can shape the way they understand themselves, relate to others and contribute to the world around them.
Inspired by our Carmelite tradition, we provide opportunities for children to encounter God in the everyday, to develop a sense of wonder and gratitude, and to recognise the dignity and gifts of every person. Through the strong partnership between family, school and parish, we seek to nurture young people who are knowledgeable in their faith and empowered to live it with authenticity, compassion and joy.
