Lived Faith

St Michael's College shares and promotes the "Vision for Religious Education" articulated by Brisbane Catholic Education and the wider church.

This vision includes the two dimensions of formation- namely, of students' religious literacy and their personal faith:

The Vision for Religious Education also appropriately aligns with the goal for learning and teaching as articulated in the Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) Learning and Teaching Framework (2012):

There are two distinct and complementary dimensions of Religious Education at St Michael's College. The model below reflects these two dimensions (BCE Model for Religious Education).
