“Attitudes are contagious is ours worth catching"

This program is aligned with Religious Education programs, Values Education and many aspects of Well Being and Spirituality throughout Australia. It calls on students "to work for peace, justice and the promotion of the common good of society" (Good News for Living, 2005, p110). The National Framework for Values Education in Australian schools (2005) states that all schools should be "ensuring values are incorporated into school policies and teaching programs across the key learning areas". Our values are showing: care and compassion, respect, honesty, trustworthiness, understanding, tolerance and inclusion.

These values also encourage students to do their best, treat others fairly, be responsible for their actions, follow principles of moral and ethical conduct and to stand up for the rights of others The Making Jesus Real program fully supports these values.

Making Jesus Real is a way of life that allows students to see Jesus working in their lives through people and creation. These are the God Moments and they happen in our schools, on our playgrounds and in our homes 100s of times a day. We just need to ‘Get Switched On’ to recognise them. It is about being a witness and sharing Jesus’ love with others.
