Curriculum Intent

Morals and Ethics gives our students a chance to connect their real-world experience with the big questions of today. As they move through the curriculum they will learn about religious and worldviews and approaches that are different to their own. This is powerful knowledge as it helps them to formulate their own views and to understand why some people do what they do because of their beliefs, whether religious or not.

The study of Morals and Ethics will also help our students to reflect on and develop their own ideas, beliefs and principles in the context of ideas that may have commonality or difference to their own. The curriculum encourages them to be considerate of other’s opinions and beliefs. Our students will be able to make sense of moral, social, ethical, religious and worldviews around them and begin to understand the complex world in which they live.

Literacy skills are embedded within the Morals and Ethics curriculum, the use of tier three language is modelled by staff and students and an integral part of Morals and Ethics lessons.  Students are given opportunities to develop their reading as well as extended writing. Morals and Ethics will also develop students’ oracy skills as it allows them to discuss what they are learning and to voice their own opinions.
