Religious Education


		As a Christian school, we value the teaching of Religious Education (RE) at Kilvington. As a close-knit and caring community, we embrace the core tenets of Baptist beginnings and tradition, one of which is to respect and celebrate religious freedom. We therefore embrace all faiths, or no faith.

Never has it been more critical to educate our young about the importance of understanding others’ perspectives, acceptance of diversity, and living harmoniously together in an increasingly complex world.

Teaching RE also helps fulfil our mission to provide a learning environment that nurtures our students’ body, mind and spirit. We value a holistic education.

At Kilvington, our Religious Education program fosters respect, understanding, and compassion for all, helping students to build a foundation of values that nurture both personal growth and community harmony.
— Rev Janet Woodlock | School Chaplain

Christian values and virtues underpin the Kilvington RE program such as wisdom and knowledge, courage, justice, hope, love and forgiveness. Our School motto, ‘Not for Our Own but Other’s Good’ helps guide instruction.

All Prep to Year 8 students take part in our RE program, including regular chapel services. From Year 7, our focus is helping students explore and express their values and beliefs, while Year 8 covers an overview of the five major world religions.
