Welcome back to Term 3! The team here at Understanding Faith kept busy over the school holidays to bring you some new updates across the primary and secondary resource. Please see below the inclusions for this latest update. Keep your eyes out for our upcoming webinar, which will highlight parts of this update.

Statistics show that $736 MILLION of workers’ compensation paid was related to mental health conditions in 2018-19, 120,355 serious workers’ compensation claims were made in 2019-2022, and as of last month, 115 Australian deaths were work-related deaths this year alone. October is National Safe Work Month – a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace.
At the start of the year, we sent out a survey to our subscribers about our resource. We’ve received all the results and have been going through the feedback, to draw out the most common responses, and to gain some insight where we can continue to improve our product. Here is some feedback developed from the results, from our manager, Jacob.

We are very proud of our unique multimedia resource, which links student content, Church teachings and Scripture, to interactive activities, video excerpts, radio broadcasts, music, newspaper articles, slideshows, and the internet – as well as pedagogically sound and contemporary teaching and learning activities.
A recent addition to the secondary curriculum is the Studies in Catholic Thought syllabus.
The Understanding Faith resource has titles for both primary and secondary education.
At the end of term 2, we usually receive our child’s first yearly report and meeting up with his/her teachers for a quick update on how it’s all going.
Is this a time in your child’s education that you look forward to? Or is a time you dread? Do you think you know what to expect? Has it snuck up on you without warning?
This year seems to have flown by! I know we all say it every year, but it really does seem as though 2018 has gone particularly fast. And this time of year is always so busy!
