The aim of the ERC program is to develop
attitudes of respect, openness and acceptance in each of our students so
that they are well prepared to live in our diverse society. The focus of
the religious aspect of the ERC program at The Priory School is to
provide our students with
the knowledge base to have an informed understanding of the many
different forms of religious expression present in the world. The
historical and cultural importance of Catholicism are given particular
prominence.
Our students are provided with many opportunities to identify and
reflect on ethical questions, propose possible solutions and examine
others points of view. Students are challenged to broaden their view of
the world. As children acquire an understanding of our differences they
develop a greater understanding and acceptance of each other.
Faith First classes are offered
after-school for students who are preparing to receive the Sacraments of
Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation.
