Religious Life of the College

The Religious Life of the College (RLOC) P-12 is focused on the second dimension of Religious Education, commonly referred to as “teaching people to be religious in a particular way” (Moran, 1991). The Religious Life of the School P-12 provides a lens through which a school may audit and further develop its religious life.

Structure of the Religious Life of the College P-12

RLOC comprises four interrelated components:

  • Religious Identity & Culture
  • Evangelisation & Faith Formation
  • Prayer & Worship
  • Social Action & Justice

Each of these components, while mutually reinforcing, provides a significant focus on a distinctive aspect of the religious life of the College. As illustrated below, each component is further subdivided into three elements.
