Religious Education classes are available at Rochedale State School.
 Currently, the only program on offer is a Cooperative Christian
Religious Education Program (CRE) which has been operational at
Rochedale State School for many years.
In
the past, Rochedale State School has worked with parents from other
faith communities to facilitate Religious Instruction from approved
instructors representing the faith group the student and family belong
to.

Religious Education Program (CRE)

Local church communities (listed below) have decided to work
together to present a weekly non-denominational 30 minute CRE program in
each Grade 1 – 7 class at Rochedale State School. There is a flexible
timetabling arrangement to enable volunteer CRE teachers and class
teachers to establish mutually suitable times.
The local CRE cooperative churches have agreed to endorse the
same non-denominational curriculum, ‘Religion in Life’. Teaching
materials may be viewed on request. Low-cost, colour student workbooks,
providing each semester’s lesson activities, are listed on every year
level’s booklist and are available through the booklist supplier.
(Grade 1 students receive activity sheets as needed and don’t require a
workbook.)

Student Participation:
Currently, all students participate in the Cooperative
Christian Religious Education Program unless parents provide the
Principal with a written request that their child be withdrawn.
Non-participatory students will be given other work or
activities to complete in another area of the classroom to enable the
class teacher to provide adequate supervision of the non-participatory
child(ren) and the class as a whole during the CRE lesson.
If your child will not be participating in CRE lessons,
please be sure to cross the CRE student workbook off your child’s
booklist order each year.
For more information
please contact the school’s CRE Coordinator via the school office.
