Combined Christian SRE

Our school offers Combined Christian SRE with a teacher from ‘THREE16: Shoalhaven’. This organisation represents local Christian churches and employs SRE teachers to work in Shoalhaven high schools.

The Approved Provider of our SRE teacher at Bomaderry High School is the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. Our teacher also uses the approved 7-10 curriculum of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, Think Faith.

A link to the scope and sequence of the Think Faith curriculum can be found at this website:

Combined Christian SRE engages students in conversations as they question life, explore values and discover faith.

The Think Faith curriculum is based on the good news about Jesus Christ and learning the key elements of Christian life and culture.

Our teacher delivers Combined Christian SRE with students from a number of denominations being taught as one class.
