Religious Education Curriculum |
1Requirements for working with children: All students enrolled must have the appropriate approvals before they may enter a classroom. These are: Blue Card (Qld) or Working with Children Check (ACT, NSW and Vic). International students must bring police check documentation from their own countries.
2Students who wish to teach in Catholic schools will be required to concurrently enrol in the 40 credit point Graduate Certificate in Religious Education which meets the minimum requirements to teach Religious Education in Catholic Schools. The Graduate Certificate in Religious Education also permits teachers to satisfy requirements for teaching religious education in Anglican schools. In Victoria, students should complete the following units: EDRE515 Principles of Religious Education, EDRE516 RE Curriculum (which includes sacramental education); THBS501 Biblical Studies and THCT500 Foundations of Christian Faith (which also includes a module of sacramental theology). In Queensland, the ACT and NSW students should complete EDRE515 Principles of RE; EDRE524 Religious Education and the Young Child; THBS501 Biblical Studies and THCT500 Foundations of Christian Faith. Students who wish to teach religious education in Anglican schools may complete the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education. In some dioceses, the Anglican Schools Commission in conjunction with their College of Theology provide alternate units for THBS501 Biblical Studies and THCT500 Foundations of Christian Faith. Students interested in pursuing this pathway should contact the National Coordinator of the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education at ACU and seek approval for alternate units before enrolling at the theological college. Students who wish to complete the requirements for teaching in Lutheran schools must register and enrol with Australian Lutheran College as well as with Australian Catholic University. The following Australian Lutheran College units will both complete a Graduate Certificate in Religious Education and assist students towards accreditation to teach in Lutheran schools: BS0001L Exploring the Bible, CT1002L The Christian Faith, DE1007L Principles and Context of Lutheran Schooling and DE1012L The Practice of Lutheran Education. Students wishing to teach in Lutheran schools should contact Australian Lutheran College directly.
