Religion and Ethics at Eleebana Public School
Eleebana Public School currently provides access to non-denominational Special Religious Education (SRE or ‘Scripture’) 30 minutes per week for each class approximately ten-to-twenty weeks per year, (dependent on SRE Teacher availability).
During online enrolment, parents/carers can select a special religious education option or select alternative meaningful activities. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE/SEE can be done through the online form or via the School Bytes Form
Combined Christian SRE is offered at Eleebana Public School and is provided by registered and approved representatives of local churches. At this time, our representatives are from the following approved providers:
- Australian Christian Churches (https://www.nswacc.org.au/)
- Baptist Union of NSW (https://nswactbaptists.org.au/).
For more information about our SRE providers, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the approved provider websites.
At this time, Eleebana PS is unable to offer Special Education in Ethics (SEE) - due to unavailability of ethics teachers.
Students can ONLY attend Scripture (SRE) or Non-Scripture – not both, as they run concurrently. SRE groups have equitable access to classrooms and resources required to offer their programs. Students not attending SRE will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful alternative activities supervised by EPS Staff.
