NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
At Teven-Tintenbar Public School, Special Religious Education (SRE) is delivered on Tuesday from 2:00pm.
The following SRE classes are offered at Teven-Tintenbar Public School:
Christian SRE is provided by SRE teachers from different Christian denominations and churches. The approved providers in this combined arrangement are the Anglican Diocese of Grafton, NSW & ACT Baptist Association, Uniting Church in Australia, Presbyterian Church of Australia, Seventh-Day Adventist Church North NSW Conference, and Christian Community Churches of Australia. All Christian SRE teachers are authorised and trained by an approved provider. The Christian SRE curriculum is authorised by these providers. The curriculum is based on Good News about Jesus Christ and learning the key elements of our Christian life and culture and can be found at https://cepconnect.com.au/curriculum.
