Christian Studies is a key learning area in the Prep to Year 10 curriculum of Trinity Lutheran College. Christian Studies introduces students to the world of religion and spirituality, which are integral components of the fabric of all cultures. It acknowledges that all people are on a lifelong journey of faith expressed in many dimensions of life, for example, relationships, community life, the environment, religious beliefs and traditions, situations of human need and suffering, ethical and justice issues. It presents to students a Christian worldview and a pathway for making meaning in their lives.
There is no assumption that students and teachers share a common set of beliefs, yet respect and sensitivity to one another is developed through genuine, open dialogue. it is not a requirement that your child or family is a Christian or becomes Christian during their time with Trinity – however all students participate in the Christian Studies curriculum and worship program.
Christian Studies at Trinity Lutheran College is underpinned by processes of inquiry, discussion and reflection and seeks to connect Christian beliefs and practices with the students’ own questions and experiences of the world. Reflection on and refinement of personal beliefs, values and life choices, and application of knowledge and understanding to the breadth of life – intellectual, emotional, personal, relational, spiritual – will assist students to consider the role and contribution they can make towards creating a more just, harmonious and compassionate world.
Complementing the Christian Studies subject is a rich Spiritual Life at the school, which gives live to our Christian faith, beliefs and worship on a daily and weekly basis.
