Christian life and WorshipChristian life and Worship
Christian spirituality is the underlying inspiration that epitomises our philosophy and approach at Moreton Bay College.
The school has adopted four Values that are connected to the Christian tradition. These values are Engagement, Character, Care and Teamwork. These values are respected and upheld by the community, influence discussions and behaviours and guide the personal, moral and academic growth of our students. Under the guidance of the Uniting Church in Australia, we warmly welcome girls from all backgrounds and faiths who are open to participation in our Worship services and Religious Education programme.
There is a Christian ethos within our teaching and learning, and there are two particular areas that are important to us as a Christian School: Collective Worship and Religious Education lessons.
Worship
Worship is both a personal and community invitation to engage with the Gospel of Christ and is an integral and compulsory part of life at Moreton Bay College, with weekly services conducted in both the Primary and Secondary Schools, while our Prep students attend one Chapel service each term.
Major Christian festivals are celebrated within the College community; namely Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. While the College Chaplain prepares and offers these services, students are encouraged to participate and lead through prayers, Bible readings, music, drama and dance.
RE Lessons
Religious Education at Moreton Bay College encourages students to explore important questions and inform their own views, backed up by a reasonable understanding of the world’s religions and religious practices.
RE lessons occur once per week in Prep through to Year 12. The approach to teaching Religion has been shaped by Uniting Church policy and focusses on students learning about religions and learning from religions. This means that Religious Education is not about promoting one particular faith but is about helping students explore questions of spiritually and life in the world.
