SRE - Special Religious Education
NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.
During enrolment, you can choose a special religious education option for your child from the school’s available approved providers. You can withdraw your child from special religious education by selecting alternative meaningful activities, or special education in ethics if it’s available.
You can update your preference by writing to the school or through the online form available at participating schools.
Visit the department’s website for more information about religion and ethics.
At TLSC The Entrance Campus, SRE will run in Year 11 on a rotational basis through English lines equating to approximately 3 hours per term.
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 to the principal, in writing.
The following SRE classes are offered at TLSC The Entrance Campus:
Christian SRE is delivered by The Lakes Church on behalf of the Tuggerah Lakes Christian Education Board which comprises representatives from the local Anglican, Baptist, Church of Christ Evangelical, Presbyterian, and uniting denominations. More information about Christian SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit: https://www.thelakes.net.au/
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students participating in SRE will leave their normal classes and be located in a separate space and be supervised by representatives of the respective authorised provider. Students not attending will remain in their classrooms and will participate in meaningful activities such as such as reading, private study, revision or completing homework.
