This leads students to wonder at God who created human freedom, while exploring ways in which Jesus sought to model said freedom. Correspondingly,
this unit also emphasises how Jesus taught people to follow God by loving one another and living out the Commandments. Students will explore how the
Commandments influence one’ s daily life and the choices made within. Further, the influence of the Holy Spirit will also be acknowledged.
Following on, the unit explores the strength and influence of the Holy Spirit. The promise of Jesus to send the Holy Spirit as a guide to followers will be
investigated, as will the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which influence one’s decision making process. Significant figures whom were initially influenced by the Holy
Spirit, including Mary and the Apostles, will also be identified. Students will correspondingly seek to explore how all followers can be filled with the Holy
Spirit, and be guided by the fruits which it provides, through the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Throughout the duration of the unit students will engage in meaningful learning experiences, created with the intention to provide opportunities to wonder at
the Creator, recognise their responsibilities and experience the strength of the Holy Spirit. Students will thus be encouraged to define the associated
concepts, ponder and discuss their thoughts, ideas, and knowledge. Further, students will partake in role plays, scripture readings, hands on and
collaborative lessons, which seek to develop the human person.

Ultimately, my own Catholic Education and appreciation of my faith will provide a foundation for the learning experiences provided to Students. It is through
my own faith journey, that I have come recognise the way in which freedom and the power of the Holy Spirit influence one’s daily life, particularly in decision
making. Thus, I intend for the ideals explored within this unit of work to transpire as learning experiences throughout the entire curriculum and provide
necessary life values, while recognising one’s responsibility to live as God intended.
