Family Whanau Book by Abraham Atherton

Family-Whanau RE Resource

One important resource for our families is the Family/Whanau Religious Education book. This book was written to provide information that will help parents and caregivers to make best use of the Religious Education programme as the school works with them in furthering the Education in Faith of their children.

The Family Whanau book can be located on the School Website under the Special Character Tab, and is attached to this article.

The Family Whanau book can be used to assist your knowledge of what is being taught in the RE Strand but to also give you some practical ways to support the teaching from school.

For example in the Year 1 Holy Spirit lessons it expresses that family could take the time to

  • water plants and notice how it gives them life and energy like the Holy Spirit

  • tell children how you notice the Holy Spirit working in them and helping them to grow into the best person they can be.
