Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

Purpose: exploration of diocesan curriculum guidelines and religious education scholarship.
‘It is necessary, therefore that religious instruction in schools appear as a scholastic discipline with the same systematic demands and the same rigor as other disciplines. It must present the Christian message and the Christian event with the same seriousness and the same depth with which other disciplines present their knowledge. (GDC, 1998, 73).’

In relation to the quote, discuss how the Parramatta Diocesan Curriculum and Religious Education scholarship (sources), influence the teaching and learning of Religious Education in Catholic schools.
Provide two examples within the Parramatta Curriculum (other than teaching scripture, can use sacraments, liturgy etc) where crafting a unit of work would include significant teacher background reading/knowledge drawing from these authoritative guideline materials.
