The Social Justice 2011 schools resource On a Level Playing Field is still available. Social Justice Week for 2012 will be on 9 - 15 September. The theme is concerned with food.

Our Social Justice schools resources are designed for teachers to use throughout the year. They are prepared for primary and secondary schools and sent to Directors of Religous Studies at Catholic schools.

Our 2011 Social Justice resource On a level playing field poses the questions:

What is fair? What is unfair?
What did Jesus teach about being fair and just?
How well are we running in the human race?
When does being competitive help me to achieve my best? When does it come at someone else’s cost?

The resource for Years 1-13 includes reading material, worksheets, powerpoints and prayers linked to the theme of equality. It is provided as a downloadable PDF with bookmark links, including links to online powerpoints.
