Lourdes Display

After learning about Lourdes and the miracle cures that are believed to happen there our classes made newspaper front pages that told the story of Bernadette's visions at Lourdes. They also recounted the story of Peadar Clarke's miracle cure of M.S.

Why do we study RE?

First and second years started the year by discussing why we study RE in school. All classes came up with some great answers. 

For example: 

• We learn about God. 
• We learn about other cultures and traditions. 
• It helps us not to be prejudiced.
• We learn about other places and people in the world. 
• It helps us to understand others. 

Classes then explained to our confused alien, using comic strips or a short story, why it is that we have RE classes in school. Their work looks great up on the wall of D1.
