Two classes- Years 1-3 and Years 4-6 are offered each week. Students are allocated to RI based on information provided by parents on the completed Application for Student Enrolment (712KB) unless other written instructions have been provided to the school.

​This information remains operational unless the parent informs the school otherwise in writing.​

Religious Instruction classes are supervised by school staff.

Students who are not participating in RI will be provided with other instruction in a separate supervised location. Other instruction must relate to part of a subject area already covered in class and may include, but is not restricted to:

  • personal research and/or assignments
  • revision of class work such as creative writing or literacy and/or numeracy activities which could include online programs currently accessed by the students of that school
  • wider reading such as independent reading appropriate to the student

Parents will be advised of any changes to the RI and other instruction programs to ensure they are able to make an informed decision on their child’s participation.
