The religious and moral education (RME) curriculum area includes the two distinct areas of religious and moral education (non-denominational) and religious education in Roman Catholic schools.

Religious and moral education (non-denominational) involves exploring beliefs, values, issues, practices and traditions. This is done through the context of Christianity, world religions selected for study, and belief groups independent of religion. It supports children and young people in the development of their own beliefs and values. 

Religious education in Roman Catholic schools includes the study of Catholic Christianity.
