Religious
Education Departments
Religious Education has its own department and
there is a Principal Teacher along with a number
of Specialist R.E. Teachers. Generalist R.E. Teachers
are part of the extended R.E. teams and the timetabling
and staffing of the R.E. programme is helped where
teams are not too large. |

| |
| Religious Education Syllabus |
| Secondary
schools have a national R.E. syllabus which
specifies the content and themes to be covered
from S1 to S4. At S5 and S6 there are guidelines
that specify approaches suitable for senior
pupils. |
|
 |
The
Principal Teacher is responsible for the
resourcing and delivery of the syllabus.
Effective learning and teaching is the primary
focus for R.E. and encouragement is given
to school-based curricular development.
This is because both the content and the
methodology required for Catholic R.E. can
be addressed. |
 |
|
| |
| Networking
is encouraged so that developments can be shared
and good practice assimilated across schools.
Meetings of Principal Teachers and Specialist
Teachers of R.E. take place once a term.

The Informal R.E. Curriculum
The Religious Education Department has a role
in encouraging and facilitating the pastoral
and liturgical life of the school.. This involves
both providing expertise and skills in this
area as well as administering some of the events
and initiatives.
The School Chaplain would also contribute in
this way as well as fulfilling his major role
of providing liturgical and sacramental opportunities
for the school.
Meeting of School Chaplains also take place
on a regular basis.
