Hello parents and carers of Year 8,

Year 8 Diocesan Religious Literacy Examination will be occurring on Monday, Week 9, 23rd of June in Periods 1 and 2 with your child’s Religious Studies teachers in their class groups.

Diocesan Religious Literacy is designed to capture a snapshot of a Catholic school students’ understanding of the faith, knowledge and communication skills that form a part of their Religious Studies education, and as it is an important examination, forms a part of their assessment mark for the Semester 2 report.

The test is externally marked, and students will receive feedback after the marking process.

Year 8 students are currently diligently revising the content that forms a part of this assessment, which comes from their Term 1 module ‘A Living Faith’.

It is important to note that components of the test are completed digitally, so ensuring that your child has a fully working and charged device on the day of the test would be beneficial.

There are hardcopy alternatives for students that do not have access to a device on the day of the test.

Details of the test are:

Section 1 - Multiple Choice-(Completed digitally)

Section 2- Written Responses- (Hardcopy)

Section 3- Short Answers- (Hardcopy)

If you have any further questions about this examination, please either contact your child’s Year 8 Religious Studies teacher or contact Brendan Neeson, Leader of Learning- Religious Studies.

Kind Regards,

Brendan Neeson | Leader of Learning – Religious Studies
