    6.3 CONFIRMATION UNIT


    YEAR 6 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION - TERM 3
    PARENT INFORMATION HANDOUT

    Over the course of the 5 weeks students will be immersed within the Religious Education unit of Confirmation. Students
    will engage in meaningful and integrated learning experiences which activate their prior knowledge and develop new
    understandings and wonder about God’s creation of people with a body and a soul, who can be guided by the Holy Spirit
    to do good in their life. Students will understand that the gifts of the Holy Spirit they received in Baptism are
    strengthened through in the Sacrament of Confirmation to guide them to act, speak and think as Jesus taught and give
    strength to them in times of hardship.

    Key areas to be covered in this unit: Your child will:


    - Explore that God made people with a body and a soul, and that our soul helps us to be loving and
    good.
    - Learn that the soul is not a physical part of the body but will last forever even after physical death.
    - Understand that before Jesus rose to heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to His followers
    to live as he taught and to spread his message to others
    - Receive and take part in the Sacrament of Confirmation, whereby the gifts received at Baptism are
    strengthened by the Holy Spirit, which helps people live as Jesus taught.
