In fifth year RE we are taught about Morals, Human Rights, something about hapiness, and philoshy type stuff, a diffrent teacher for each one.
In Sixth year RE so far it's been more of a getting to know your class thing, but there has been serious things kind of, like last week there we somehow got into a discussion about me not being a Catholic, despite me being baptised, etc, and talked about the 7 Deadly Sins and all that, dunno how we got there though

In 5th year PSE it is, actually i wouldnt know, my class never did anything when i was there.
In 6th year, your split into two groups, UCAS and Non-UCAS
In the UCAS section you basicly have a wee meeting with the UCAS woman about what you want to do, and if the grades you require are achievable, work on your Personal Statement, fill in your UCAS form, and normally any Fith/Sixth year assemblies happen then aswell.

Education should be about giving an unbiased set of facts about life and academia but with a twist of bible and mass and what god has to say on the issue
I agree that people think having single demonination schools leads to racism because the students are too sheltered and having there own religion drummed into them

Those two statements are contradictory, firstly you say Denominational schools are wrong, then you say Education should be mixed with the bible and mass, where as mass only happens in Denominational Schools.
And you get taught unbiased facts in Catholic schools, as there is only two Subjects which will differ in a Catholic school to that in a Non-Denominational school, are RE and Higher Biology, although Biology wont be diffrent enough to have a large enough effect to cause damage to the course the pupils are being taught.
Further to the support for Catholic Schools, it allows a parent of a child to choose to give their child an education in their religion. There are also protestants, sikhs and muslims, Agnostics(possibly more as well) at my school, and their parent's have sent them to a Catholic school as it encourages Spirituality. We also have Aetiests, but they aren't sent to Catholic schools for encouragement of spirituality, for obvious reasons.
I agree that people think having single demonination schools leads to racism because the students are too sheltered and having there own religion drummed into them
I disagree with this, as i have seen racism equally in both Catholic and Non-Denominational schools. Being taught in either school doesnt cause racism, it is forces outside of school which cause this, such as a childs upbringing. Within school , Catholic School or not, you are strictly taught to love and respect everyone, no matter what race, religion, where they come from, etc.
Catholic Schools do not drum Catholacism into their pupils, yes they focus on Catholocism about 60% of the RE course 1st to 3rd, the rest of the time spent in RE is Sex ed, philosophy, morals and human rights education. You are given a teaching that does it's best to open your minds to the world, not close them.

I do know that people of faith send there children to catholic schools because its basically the only thing they can get for free (which btw i think is wrong) the point still stays the same. The point is religion has been added to education and that can only be a bad thing
