Some FAQs:

  • During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending SRE will be supervised in their classrooms and will participate in meaningful activities including reading, private study or completing homework.
  • On enrolment parents/carers will be given the SRE participation letter to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE should be given in writing to the school office.
