Christian SRE is provided by SRE teachers from different Christian denominations and churches. All Christian SRE teachers are authorised and trained by an approved provider.

The curriculum is based on Good News about Jesus Christ and learning the key elements of our Christian life and culture.

Catholic SRE teachers (also known as Catechists) are authorised by the local parish and trained by the Diocese of the Catholic Church.

The Catholic SRE curriculum is approved by the Bishop of the Diocese in liaison with religious education experts.  Lessons include activities that are fun and inclusive for students, whilst also providing them the opportunity to critically explore in depth their faith and to pray and reflect.  For more information about the Catholic SRE curriculum go to https://www.bbcatholic.org.au/

Catholic SRE teachers engage young people in hearing the Good News about Jesus Christ and learning the key elements of Christian life and culture
