Social Justice in schools

Justice at work

A resource booklet with teaching ideas for years 1 – 13 and poster will be mailed to all Catholic schools by the end of July 2013. Worksheets will be available online from this page. The Catholic social teaching principles underpinning the theme this year are: human dignity; participation; and the common good.

Justice at work will cover the following topics:

• The meaning of work
• Why humans work
• Different kinds of work
• Workers rights and responsibilities
• Using our gifts in the workplace
• The work of the Holy Spirit in each of us.

This page will be updated as resources are finalised.
