    • Religious Education & Catholic Life Newsletters

    Religious Education@EM

    As a Catholic School, we promote and teach the doctrine and philosophy of the Catholic Church. This will include participating in class/whole school Prayer & Liturgy each day and also attending school Masses and Liturgies.

    We follow the Religious Education Directory for the teaching and learning of curriculum RE. Planning and delivery of curriculum RE ensures that the Christian values show themselves not only in the R.E. lessons but at all times.

    Parents who wish their children to be prepared for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Communion and Confirmation follow a programme prepared by the parish.

    Parents do have the right to withdraw their child from Prayer & Liturgy and Human Relationships and Sex Education (HRSE).

    Human Relationships and Sex Education is integrated into the curriculum in such a way as to meet the needs of the children as they grow and develop. If children are to develop an appropriate attitude towards sex, sex education needs to be integrated into the rest of their learning. Our teachers are prepared and ready to answer specific questions which will arise from their work. Parents' views will also be taken into account where possible if such a situation occurs.

    Climate Change and looking after our planet is ALL our responsibility!

    On Friday 5th November, starting at 11am, there will be a 24-hour Prayer Vigil for the success of COP26. This has been coordinated by The Columban Mission Justice and Peace Education Team, but the input is from schools and groups from across the world. It is broken down into 30 minute slots.  

    Please join us in prayer, send in prayers through chat/comments, add climate stories for politicians on the link below. It would be wonderful if some time during the school day could be given to being involved.

    There's so much amazing content - prayer from Maasai in Kenya, 'climate busking' in Korea, dance from the Philippines, climate stories from around the world, ... 

    Here's a sneak preview of one to get you excited:

    Please join us online (and, symbolically at least, in Glasgow), and promote to others. 

    Pray for COP26!
