Christian Studies

Christian Studies as a discipline of learning introduces students to the world of religion and spirituality, which are integral components of the fabrics of all cultures and is a core subject in the curriculum of a Lutheran school. All students participate in two lessons a week.

Christian Studies provides a safe and supportive context in which students can reflect on their experiences of the world and on their own beliefs and spirituality as they attempt to make sense of their rapidly changing and complex global environment, and as they develop their identity as individuals. They do this on the basis of their study of Christianity and their increasing awareness of how the Christian faith relates to all aspects of existence.

Faith responses or commitment to Christ are not a general expectation of the formal curriculum, though there are areas of the broader framework of Christian education where these can be actively nurtured and expressed.
