Religious Education

Classroom-based programs provide a systematic and comprehensive form of religious education. They foster an understanding of the teachings of the Gospel, the nature of Christianity and the way Catholics are called to live their lives within the Catholic tradition (Sharing our Story: Core Document)

St. Bernadette's uses the Parramatta Diocesan Religious Education Curriculum, Sharing Our Story. In addition, the school engages in a range of prayer and liturgical experiences to allow students to deepen and express their faith.

St. Bernadette's supports the Parish in its Sacramental Programs for students preparing for and celebrating the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and First Communion. It highly values the strong relationship it has with the wider parish community, particularly with Parish Priest, Fr. John Boyle.

The Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta website provides more information about the Religious Education Curriculum.
