GRADE 12 THEOLOGY COURSE

Course Code: HRE 4M1 

Course Overview:

This course is directed towards the clear identification of Catholic moral principles and the concrete application of these principles in the lives of students. The course proceeds from foundational beliefs rooted in Sacred Scriptures concerning justice and peace to an exploration of the principles that shape Christian life.

Special attention is given to the interaction between the Church and culture. The modern world is characterized by multiplicity of values, philosophies and ideologies. In a democratic, pluralistic society these concepts may creatively reinforce one another or they may compete with and contradict one another. The Christian moral life is a call to follow Jesus Christ, to believe in the redemptive love of God for humankind and to proclaim and incarnate the reign of God as inaugurated by Jesus Christ. This course is intended to provide students with the needed knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that assist them in making life-giving, Christ-centred, moral decisions in their ongoing faith.

Tests / Assignments:

Advanced noticed will be given for all major tests and assignments. Major assignments are to be completed by the end of the ‘acceptance period’. (Late assignments may be penalized). You must provide sufficient notice for any legitimate reason that will result in a missed or presentation. Evaluation and student achievement is based on evidence of student work in accordance with Ministry guidelines. Please see our School Assessment and Evaluation Policy in your handbook.

In the event that you have a legitimate reason for absence on a scheduled presentation date, you must ensure that your teacher recieves notice, via telephone, from a parent/guargian (if under 18) by 8:00 am on a scheduled presentation to avoid being penalized.

Classroom Procedures:

Students are to be in full uniform at all times and will treat each other, the teacher and the learning environment with respect, honesty and consideration. School policy regarding attendance and punctuality is adhered to and students are responsible to learn about any missed work immediately following any absence. A record of lates, absences, attitudes, disruptions, co-operation with others and general participation, will be included on the report card as a separate entry. This is a M level course! The expectations of this course are comparable to any post-secondary course. Much of the learning will be self-directed and the responsibility of the student.

Assessment and Evaluation:

In accordance with Ministry guidelines, evaluation and student achievement is based on evidence of student work.  Evidence of student work includes assignments (daily and long-term), quizzes, tests, journal reflections, cooperative learning/ group work, research projects, oral presentations, seminars, independent projects, and a final examination.
