Curriculum and Standards

The REO, in collaboration with the Catholic Schools Office, has published the Faith Formation (Religion) Curriculum and Standards. This document, based on the four "pillars" of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the General Directory for Catechesis, will provide a sound basis for faith formation of children and youth as a foundation for lifelong learning.
