Chapel and Religious Education

St Hilda’s is an Anglican School that embraces children and parents of other faiths. The Chapel life of the Junior School provides our students with an opportunity to join together in prayer and celebrate the Christian faith.

Students in Prep to Year 6 attend Chapel once per week. The students contribute to the services selecting readings, writing prayers, dramatising biblical stories and singing hymns and songs of worship.

Religious Education is taught from Pre-Prep to Year 6 for approximately 45 minutes per week. The aim of these lessons is to teach the students about the Christian faith and its place in their lives. Teachers promote an awareness of other faiths and their contribution.

We believe that Chapel and Religious Education lessons nurture in our students an awareness of all faiths and sensitivity to them, whilst focusing on the importance of respect and dignity of all people.
