Remar Red Ministry Event

Jo Dunn on 09/07/2018

The Year 10 Remar Red Rowers collaborated and bought in items to stock the ‘pantry’ at the Centre for Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Detainees (CARAD).

CARAD is recognised as a respected voice for the rights of asylum seekers, refugees and detainees and a provider of essential services, ensuring that all people seeking safety in Australia are able to live with dignity. Esther Deng from CARAD came to speak to us about life in Australia as an asylum seeker, refugee and detainee. She helped us to understand the struggle that people have when they are unable to access the basics in life, such as employment, education and healthcare. Before Esther arrived, we spent time making cards with messages of welcome for those who use the centre. It was a very inspiring afternoon.

Bishops’ Religious Literacy Assessment 2018

Jo Dunn on 09/07/2018

At the request of the Western Australian Bishops, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 9 students in Catholic schools across Western Australia will take part in The Bishops’ Religious Literacy Assessment (BRLA) from the week commencing Monday 30 July in Term 3. All three year levels will access the assessment online.

Students enrolled in Year 3, Year 5 and Year 9 who are following a regular classroom program are expected to participate. Students with disability are also entitled to participate in the assessment. Exemptions may apply.

The Nature and Role of the BRLA

The Bishops’ Religious Literacy Assessment is a large-scale, standardized assessment that consists of a series of Religious Education (RE) tests developed and marked by the Office of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA). The purpose of the BRLA is to measure student learning of the content in the RE curriculum. Formal school and student reports are produced by the Office and will become available to schools in Term 4.

The BRLA provides a ‘point in time’ snapshot of student performance in RE. Students’ knowledge and understanding of the content of the RE curriculum is assessed using a combination of multiple choice, and short and extended response items. Students’ faith is not assessed. The use of the BRLA complements the school based assessment programs in RE.

Please contact your child’s teacher or Lisa Fogliani lisa.fogliani@newman.wa.edu.au if you have any enquiries regarding the administration of The Bishops’ Religious Literacy Assessment.
