Year 10 Religion , Philosophy & Ethics ( compulsory )

Religion , Philosophy & Ethics ( RPE )
Philosophical thought shapes what people think , what they value , what they consider to be true and how they engage with others and the world around them . It is one of the foundations of all academic disciplines . It seeks to shed light on questions such as : what is real ? What and how do we understand ? How should we live ? What is it to be human ? Who am I ? It deals with issues and problems that cannot be addressed adequately by appealing to experience and experiment alone . Religion , Philosophy and Ethics aims to empower students to make independent judgements in the basis of reason .
