Family Information Meetings

Thank you to all the families who attended the class information afternoons. It was great to see so

many sharing in their children’s learning.

Scripture

Welcome to a new school year!

We hope 2020 will be a great year for your child’s educational, social, physical and spiritual

development.

The SRE team (Christian SRE, which stands for Special Religious Education) at Central PS is looking

forward to getting to know your child/ren and having the opportunity to teach them SRE and help

develop them spiritually.

Our team is made up of Christians from different local churches and are passionate about giving

your child the opportunity to learn about themselves, life, God and the world from the Bible. We

create an environment where they can ask questions and get answers about a wide range of life

issues. The flyer included in this newsletter shows you the benefits of your child attending SRE

classes. There are also some extra information pamphlets for families in the school foyer for you to

read.

SRE runs for 30 minutes every week. The classes are divided into 4 age groups with usually 2

teachers for each class.

Please feel free to contact the school (who will in turn contact us if necessary) about any

concerns or questions you may have. It is not compulsory and you can withdraw your child but it

must be in writing to the school. Non-SRE kids are given a supervised space to do other school

work for the duration of SRE classes. Non-SRE students can rejoin scripture classes at any time with

written permission.

On behalf of the SRE Team,

Kylie Letcher (SRE Coordinator)
