A total of 32 teams took part on the day. Our girls won 4 out of the 6 games that they played and came 3rd overall. Very impressive. Congratulations!!
The Bishops’ Religious Literacy Assessment (BRLA)
At the request of the Western Australian Bishops, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 9 students in Catholic schools across Western Australia take part in The Bishops’ Religious Literacy Assessment (BRLA) from the week commencing 1 August. It is a large-scale, standardised assessment that consists of a series of Religious Education (RE) tests developed and marked by the Office of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA). The purpose of the BRLA is to measure student learning of the content in the RE curriculum. Formal school and student reports are produced by the Office and will become available to schools in Term Four.
The BRLA provides a ‘point in time’ snapshot of student performance in RE. Students’ knowledge and understanding of the content of the RE curriculum is assessed using a combination of multiple choice, short and extended response items. Students’ faith is not assessed. The use of the BRLA complements the school-based assessment programs in RE.
