The curriculum includes what is taught (content), when it is taught (scope and sequence), how it is taught (instruction/programs), what will be used (resources) and how students will demonstrate their learning (assessment).

Religious Education is our first Learning Area and comprises two distinct but complementary dimensions – teaching students religion and teaching students to be religious. Teaching religion is an educational activity focused on the teaching and learning of religion utilising a range of learning processes and resources. Teaching students to be religious is identified with the religious life of the school and is a faith development activity focused on nurturing the religious, spiritual and faith growth of students. Religious Education is taught in a context with the same systematic demands and rigour of all other learning areas. All St Helena’s students are expected to participate in the Religious Education program of the school.
