Religious Education
Loving and Learning
St Martin of Tours Primary school, where we believe that Religious Education underpins all aspects of school life.
Religious Education
Finding and experiencing God in our every day is the reason for our existence at St. Martin of Tours Parish School. As a Catholic school; our vision and mission statement reflect Catholic traditions, beliefs and spirituality inside the framework of our contemporary world.
Recontextualising these important foundations of faith within our knowledge and understanding of a wider world is an important ingredient of our children’s learning and development.
Our program reflects the learning foci as outlined in the Archdiocese of Melbourne text; ‘To Know Worship and Love and is integrated with the students’ Inquiry Learning. This strategy enables children to see that God, their relationship with him, with others and the wider world, is relevant and provides important guiding principles for their lives now and into the future.
Prayer and Christian Meditation
Children enter into a prayer life with their class through daily prayer, reflection and Christian meditation. They join with their school and parish family through class masses, school masses, family masses with the parish and prayer services to celebrate the Church seasons and classroom units of work.
Sacraments
The Parish and School actively engage with the children’s preparation and celebration of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.
The Sacraments are celebrated in these year levels
- Reconciliation Year 3
- Eucharist Year 4
- Confirmation Year 6
We hope to create for each child a sense of belonging to our school, our Faith Community and above all to our God.

It’s not the curriculum that we offer that sets us apart...
Jesus taught us to love others as we love ourselves, St. Martin’s provides an environment where individuals are valued unconditionally and have respect for self and others.
St Martin’s school provides an inclusive, differentiated curriculum empowering all members of the community to be curious, self motivated learners and critical thinkers in an ever changing world.
St. Martin’s provides a challenging and safe environment where individuals work together as active members of the community, fostering respect, equity and empathy for all.
The success we attain is not only evidenced by the assessment data – but it’s seen through the smiles and joy we see on our student’s faces as a concept is grasped. This is the indefinable element that drives us as teachers to produce and grow our own teaching skills year in, year out.
