Year Level Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 2, students analyse some teachings and actions of Jesus depicted in New Testament texts that reveal aspects of
Gods nature. They discuss their ideas about Gods relationship with the Jewish people as described in some Old Testament stories.
Students pose questions about the life and times of Jesus and use sources provided to answer these questions. They make
connections between Jesus teachings and actions and the way members of the Church community live today.
Students recognise the sacredness of God and all creation, especially human life. They identify ways in which human beings respond
to the call to be co-creators and stewards of Gods creation. Drawing on their own experiences, they suggest ways to pursue peace
and justice out of respect for human life and all creation. They recognise choices that harm an individual and their loving
relationships with God, with others and with all creation. They explain ways in which believers seek to heal these relationships
through reconciliation and how they celebrate reconciliation in the Sacrament of Penance. They recognise that prayer and the
wisdom of the saints help the believer to nurture their relationship with God, with others and with all creation. They participate with
respect in a variety of personal and communal prayer experiences, including meditative prayer and prayers for forgiveness.

unconditional. Sin is made evident in the free choices

relationships. There is no limit to Gods mercy and
