This is an integrated strand that focuses on ‘deep skills’ and wisdom that RE students develop as learners alongside their growth in knowledge and understanding that is mapped across the knowledge strands.
It emphasises the capabilities and dispositions that support students’ spiritual awareness and religious identity, their participation in the dialogue with the Catholic Tradition and other religious worldviews, their seeking of truth and interpretation of ideas and experience, and their integration and transformation of learning that they apply with growing wisdom in their lives.
That is, this strand makes visible in the curriculum the capabilities and dispositions which are alluded to in Crossway’s Purpose of Classroom RE.
The Wisdom strand is organised into 4 sub-strands and each sub-strand has 4 elements (16 elements altogether). The elements are expressed developmentally through articulations which in 4 - year bands (early years, primary years, middle years and senior years).
