That is so awesome. I sort of have the same experience here, since a large proportion of the girls have come up through the junior and middle schools, and therefore have gone through our Religious Knowledge course (though, granted, it's a half-year course that alternates with Guidance, and their 13-year-old minds at the time don't really absorb as much as we'd like them to.) Of course, it's a different story with kids who start at Grade 9 or up. But it's so great to hear that your students are so engaged - doesn't it just make the world of difference sometimes, especially in terms of your own motivation? There's nothing like getting up in the morning knowing that the people you're going to face for the rest of the day want to be where they are.
