At Kurri Kurri High School SRE is delivered to students who nominate to participate each Wednesday period two. Students not participating will work on projects in class and no new content will be taught during this time. Should a student wish to withdraw from SRE please bring a written note from the Parent/Carer to the front office.
Christian SRE is provided by SRE teachers from different Christian denominations and churches. The approved providers in this combined arrangement are Geoffrey Johnson – Churches of Christ and Elizabeth Brown – Anglican Diocese of Newcastle. All Christian SRE teachers are authorised and trained by an approved provider.
The Christian SRE curriculum is authorised by Think Faith.
