ACC SRE (SCRIPTURE)

Our Vision

For every student in NSW Government Schools to be given the opportunity to question, explore and discover the Christian Faith for themselves.

Our SRE Teachers

SRE teachers attending an ACC church must be authorised by ACC NSW.

Ongoing Commitments

Once you have been approved to teach SRE, you need to maintain this by:

1. Participating in ongoing training for at least two hours each year.
2. Participating in ACC NSW’s mentoring program which includes a Personal Reflection twice yearly and having a lesson observed as required.
3. Completing an ACC NSW refresher course every three years. This will cover: child protection, mandatory reporting and classroom management.

5. Teaching only from an ACC NSW approved SRE curriculum as outlined below.

Note:

You will also need to provide the school in which you intend to teach with your Date of Birth. The school will use this to check each SRE teacher against the Department of Education’s NTBE (not to be employed) database.
