Introduction

Years 7, 8 and 9
 
Years 7, 8 and 9 follow the Icons programme. This is a structured, progressive and developmental programme. The structure is shaped by questions about Identity, Purpose and Fulfilment which concern the foundations of human and Christian life.

These questions are addressed and explored in the light of Christian faith in Jesus Christ, the human person, the Church and the ways in which faith is celebrated, lived and prayed through the sacraments and the liturgical year.

 A major world faith is also studied each year; Year 7- Hinduism, Year 8- Judaism, Year 9- Islam.
