About SRE
Christian SRE presents an exciting opportunity for you to get involved with students as they explore and discover the gospel for themselves
In New South Wales, pastors and their representatives have the privilege of teaching the Christian faith to students in government schools through Special Religious Education (SRE), also known as Scripture.
SRE is mandated by the Education Act 1990 and provides an opportunity for all children to attend an SRE class at their school.
If your child’s school does not currently offer Christian SRE and you would like the opportunity for your child to participate, please contact us for more information.
For guidance on promoting SRE within your church community or to find out how you can become an SRE teacher, speak with your pastor or email newlifelowerclarence@gmail.com
