Enrolling in SRE at NSW

Public High Schools

In NSW public schools, opportunity is provided for students to participate in Special Religious Education (SRE), where authorised teachers of approved providers are available. SRE LAKE MAC WBCEA provides this under the NSW & ACT Baptist Association.

Enrolling in SRE is as simple as filling out the ‘SRE Participation Letter’ at your local High School, signaling your intent to have your child opt in the program. These notes are provided at the time of enrolment at the school. They can also be requested by contacting the office at your High School and returned. You can opt in to SRE at any point throughout the year. You can even notify the school in writing a letter/email to indicate your desire for your child to participate in SRE.

Research has demonstrated that religious education is valuable as part of the wider educational development of students, as it helps to nurture their spiritual wellbeing. The benefits of Christian High School SRE are as follow:

  •  Contributes to successful students, as they nurture spiritual wellbeing.

  • It broadens the student’s educational experience. Students get an understanding of the basic tenets of the Christian faith, addressing big questions about God, Faith, and the Bible.

  •  Students learn they are valuable and loved.

  • Students develop personal values through a biblical worldview.

  •  Students gain an understanding of how the Christian Faith has shaped western culture.
