 * Welcome to HRE 101 - Grade 9 Theology**

This course is based upon fun filled activities directly relating to a morally active attitude and experience. The focus of the course will engage and improve your understanding of what it means to be part of the Catholic faith. I look forward to working with each and everyone of you as we emerge closer towards disciples of Jesus. Welcome!

This site is an excellent way for students and parents to keep up to date with class handouts, activities and assignments. Please note that students are responsible for printing the necessary documents from this site at the beginning of each unit. They are expected to be prepared with this information in their binder. This initiative is whole-heartingly geared towards the success of each student which enables them to: a) understand what is expected of them at the beginning of each unit, and b) in the situation of absence, he/she will not fall behind.
 * Dear Parents / Guardians,**

-Students are to attend class regulary on time and be prepared to participate in course work and activities. -Students must provide teacher with adequate notice of upcoming absences due to extracurricular, travel, or other situations. -Students are expected to take the initiative to catch up on missed work. They need to take the responsibility of obtaining contact information (phone number and email) from two students in the class whom they can rely on to update themselves on missed work. -Students are expected to check this website once a week to keep themselves up to date with any new information posted.
 * __Student Expectations__:**

This Grade 9 Theology course will divided into many units. Besides all this learning let's ensure we can incorporate some good clean **humour** and **laughter** in this classroom!!!! WHY?

-Humour reduces stress! -Laughter boosts morale. -Humour helps to faciliate change by allowing us to be more flexible and adaptable. -Humour and laughter relieves boredom and encourages creativity. -Humour and laughter promote positive relationships. -When laughter and humour are present, relationships are good. Enjoying one another's humour has been proven to improve performance and success.

The humour I speak of must not be racist, sexist, involve put downs, ridicule or sarcasm. These are inappropriate and destructive forms of humour that will make you look bad and emotionally scar another. So, let's have some fun! Now go ahead and watch one of my favourite Pink Panther cartoons:
