Church teaching and the Catholic school leaver

Abstract

This lecture deals with certain important aspects of the Catholic school's work. Its focus is the final year of school, but the points suggested have a wider relevance in school policy. And furthermore, noting that a large majority of Catholics of high-school age are not in Catholic schools, I should say that the basic principles of what is said here can be applied to catechetical work with these young people, for example in confirmation classes. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
