At the request of the Western Australian Bishops, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 9 students in Catholic schools across Western Australia will take part in the CEWA Year 9 Religious Education Online Assessment (REA) from the week commencing Monday 4 August. The REA is a large-scale, standardised assessment, the purpose of which is to measure student learning of the content in the RE curriculum using a combination of multiple choice, short and extended response items. Students’ faith is not assessed. The use of the REA complements the school-based assessment programmes in Religious Education classes. The assessment will be accessible to students only online.

Parents/Guardians have received an emailed letter on Wednesday 25 June regarding the assessment and further information will be distributed to Year 9 students early in Term 3.

Year 9 students at Chisholm Catholic College will sit the assessment in Week 3 of Term 3 on Monday 4 August during Periods 1 and 2. RE class teachers will provide this information to the students.
