Religious Studies
Religious Studies is the subject where students get the opportunity to explore their own beliefs and personal experiences, while spending time building an understanding of the different world religions.
There are many opportunities to discuss ideas and views as students are encouraged to develop their understanding of other people's beliefs. The study of Religious Studies helps students to develop qualities such as sensitivity to other's views, politeness, perseverance, initiative and independence.
