Open Evening



Tonight is the school's open evening. The RE department are asking people to think about ultimate questions. Firstly if we have a soul, where in the human body can you find it. The chest and head are the most popular choices.
We also have displays of religious artefacts and foods from around the world to try.

We are all having a great evening, although Miss Madden and Ms Lucas may be getting a bit silly......

GCSE Philosophy and Ethics


Welcome Year 10 - this is the post you will need to comment on for your homework task this week. In our lesson today we were looking at Brahman and the Hindu Trimurti. We also spent a bit of time exploring exam technique. When you write your comment, imagine that you are answering a Part e) question, but only for 6 marks not 12. (remember this is AO2 and is all about debate, discussion, different viewpoints and reasoned arguments.) Here goes!


'Trying to understand God is impossible.' Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer and show that you have thought about different points of view. Refer to Hinduism in you answer.


OK - so you will need to say if you agree or disagree with the quote. Feel free to bring in your own beliefs and opinions here. You will also need to give an opposite opinion. It is really important also that you talk a bit about Brahman (the Hindu supreme being) and the Hindu deities being aspects of Brahman. (remember the example of the sand?)


Good luck!
