Religious Education
Religious Education is seen as an integral part of daily school life. Our school follows the Parramatta Diocesan Religious Education syllabus, Sharing Our Story, and we utilise resources such as Teaching The Truth in Love. The school enjoys the support and encouragement of the parish priests and works closely with the parish community. Students have the opportunity to develop their relationship with God through prayer and song during liturgical celebration, classroom religious education activities and attendance at parish mass.
Prayer, Liturgical Life and Faith Experiences
The parish is a vital partner in the education of our students in their Catholic faith and heritage. Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary is supported by the parish team in all celebrations, Sacramental programs and social gatherings. Whole-school masses and liturgies celebrate major feast days throughout the liturgical year. Students participate in daily class prayer and the Angelus, and they are also given opportunities to attend Reconciliation with the parish priest throughout the year. Children from each class participate in various ways to bring life and meaning to each celebration using drama, dance and liturgical movements.
A commitment to Social Justice
Social justice forms part of our Religious Education program. Issues such as poverty, violence and lack of freedom are discussed in conjunction with Scriptural references. We have a longstanding tradition with the St Vincent De Paul Society with a yearly winter and Christmas appeal and students are also encouraged to support different parish and community social justice programs such Project Compassion and World Youth Day.

Parents are welcomed and encouraged to participate in a variety of areas such as classroom reading, sport and all events offered at the school.
