By the end of Year 1, students make connections to their personal experience
when explaining ways of living in accordance with God’s plan for creation.
They identify how people live safely and happily in community and in loving
relationship with God. They explain how to respect the dignity and natural
rights of all people, to care for all creation by responsibly using God’s gift of
freedom to make choices. Students relate stories from some Old Testament
texts that describe God’s presence and action in the lives of individuals and
communities. They identify words, actions and symbols used in the
Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist to communicate God’s presence and
action.
Students identify the nature of Jesus’ mission and ministry, as well as some
similarities and differences between Gospel accounts of significant events,
places and characters in the life of Jesus. They describe some aspects of Jewish
daily life at the time of Jesus. They recognise some ways in which believers
past and present honour Mary, Mother of Jesus, including praying the Hail
Mary. Students recognise the significance of prayer in Jesus’ life and in the
lives of believers and participate with respect in a variety of personal and
communal prayer experiences, including meditative prayer, Grace and the Hail
Mary.
