Religious and moral education

Religious and moral education includes learning about Christianity and other world religions, and supports the development of beliefs and values. It also includes aspects of philosophical enquiry.

Children who attend denominational schools will experience religious education through the perspective of the school’s faith community. In this section, you can find experiences and outcomes for both religious and moral education (non-denominational schools) and religious education in Roman Catholic schools.
