"Studies of Religion explores the diversity of religious experience in the world, and will increase the students’ awareness of Australia’s rapidly changing multifaith society. It recognises the significance of religion in human experience and culture. This syllabus will assist students to become more informed about their own religious heritage and identify other traditions in Australia’s multifaith society. Aboriginal religious beliefs and value systems are included to ensure that all students who study this course have an appreciation of the spiritual nature of Aboriginal culture. The syllabus consists of a compulsory core and a wide range of options. The core and the options enable teachers and students to have maximum flexibility in the study of a range of religious traditions" (NESA, 2001).
