SPECIAL RELIGIOUS EDUCATION 

Special Religious Education (SRE), previously known as “Scripture”, is an integral part of the curriculum in government schools.  Representatives of approved religious persuasions have an opportunity to provide SRE in every government school in NSW.

The content of SRE classes is specific to each religion or denomination.  General Religious Education involves learning about religions, the place of religion in society and the importance of religious beliefs for particular individuals and communities.

The religious persuasions providing SRE at our school, the arrangements made for them, and the contact persons may be obtained from the office.  When you enrol your child you may, if you wish, nominate a religion for your child to attend.  SRE teachers have to be authorised by their religious persuasions and many of them have completed special training.  They use material approved by their religious persuasion.

CHARITIES

Whilst we are aware of and try to support worthwhile charitable appeals, the school annually supports Stewart House, an education program which provides opportunities for students and is maintained solely be donations from teachers and students in government schools.
