SRE Classes
Special Religious Education (SRE) is offered to Years 7 and 8 students. Classes will be held on alternate Wednesdays throughout the year, rotating through periods. Students must return a signed permission note to attend.
From time to time SRE seminars may be offered to students in Years 9-10. Information will be provided to parents if and when seminars are organised.
Students must return a signed permission note to attend any SRE activity. Parents may withdraw their child from SRE at any time by writing to the school.
Tuncurry Campus staff do not supervise SRE. Instead they will be running alternative meaningful activities for students who do not attend SRE.
