What we Teach
What's in a CEIS session?
Each term has a unique focus on exploring what Christians believe:
- Easter (Term 1)
- God (Term 2)
- The Bible (Term 3)
- Christmas (Term 4)
Each session responds to a Big Question that is explored through large and small group activities. Students are invited and encouraged to ask their questions and explore what they think.

Pedagogy Model: Seek, Question, Explore
From the day they are born children are on a journey of discovery and development – physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
Modern education focuses on supporting and encouraging holistic, lifelong learning for each child in all areas, to enhance their participation in a rapidly changing world.
Similarly, CEIS provides a platform of discovery and learning across open-ended educational sessions. Participating students are invited, in their own way and at their own level, to:
- Seek and wonder about Christianity, including God, Jesus and the Bible
- Question and discover what Christians believe, what their own thoughts are, and why humanity desires peace, love and acceptance
- Explore their own and other responses to the Christian story of faith, hope and love
The platform of seek, question, explore is both personal and open-ended. There is no right or wrong answer, just the hope that participating students find each session a formational experience for better understanding, mutual respect and peace.
