St Benedict's Vision For Religious Education
At St Benedict's Catholic Primary School, Mango Hill we share and promote the Vision for Religious Education as articulated by Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) and the wider church. Our own mission which commits to Walk in God's Ways, where together we live, love learn and celebrate has a close alignment with the BCE Learning and Teaching Framework (2012).
As a Catholic and Christian community we educate all to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ as successful, creative, confident, active and informed learners empowered to shape and enrich our world.
At St Benedict's our lived mission is shaped by the Gospel and by the charisms of our school's patron, St Benedict. This ensures a synergy between the academic learning of religion and the development of the religious life of the school. Our staff's dedication to the curriculum and the religious culture of our school community in our world, reflects the alignment of the strands of the Religion Curriculum, along with the four components of the religious Life of the School.

The Rule Of St Benedict
The Rule of Saint Benedict has for centuries been the guide of religious communities. Saint Benedict's rules of obedience,
humility and contemplation are not only prerequisites for formal religious societies; they also provide an invaluable model for
anyone desiring to live more simply.
They provide guidance and inspiration for anyone seeking peace and fulfilment in their home and work communities and
present a contemporary model for living with issues facing us now - stewardship, relationships, authority, community, balance,
work, simplicity and prayer.
Benedict taught moderation in all things; the dignity of work; drawing closer to God through the renewal of the mind, placing a
strong emphasis on learning and scholastic disciplines.
Our school motto Walk in God's Ways challenges our community to actively engage with Jesus' message as the model for living.
