Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 1, students make connections to personal experience when explaining ways of living in accordance with Gods plan for creation: that people live
safely and happily in community and in loving relationship with God, with a responsibility to respect the dignity and natural rights of all people, to care for all
creation and to responsibly use Gods gift of the freedom to choose. They relate stories from some Old Testament texts that describe Gods presence in the lives
of individuals and communities. They identify words, actions and symbols used in the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist to communicate Gods presence and
action.
Students identify the nature of Jesus mission and ministry, as well as some similarities and differences between Gospel accounts of significant events, places and
characters in the life of Jesus. They describe some aspects of Jewish daily life at the time of Jesus. They recognise some ways in which believers past and
present honour Mary, Mother of Jesus, including praying the Hail Mary. They recognise the significance of prayer in Jesus life and in the life of believers and
participate with respect in a variety of personal and communal prayer experiences, including meditative prayer, Grace and the Hail Mary.
