Classroom resources

Australian Catholics is committed to providing great quality resources to support teachers in Catholic schools to approach religious topics from contemporary angles. Students will appreciate reading articles and completing activities that allow them to see how Catholicism relates to their world or to walk in someone else’s shoes. Each set of notes unpacks a topic relevant to the teaching of religious education in Australian Catholic schools using our extensive range of articles and resources. Each set of questions and activities has resources for lower primary, upper primary, lower secondary and upper secondary. So, whether you are looking for inspiration or trying to plan, look at how our questions and activities can inspire effective and engaging classroom practice.
