SPECIAL RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Bathurst Evangelical Church is an ‘Authorised Provider of Special Religious Education’ in NSW Public Schools. All SRE teachers from Bathurst Evangelical must have a current Working with Children Check, unless under 18 years of age, in which case the teacher will be required to declare that they are not a disqualified person under the Child Protection Act 2012.AllBE SRE teachers must undergo both initial and on-going SRE training. Information about the SRE syllabus taught by BE teachers can be found at the ‘Connect’ website: https://cepconnect.com.au/curriculum
As an authorised provider, Bathurst Evangelical, through the body which co-ordinates SRE in Bathurst public schools, the Bathurst Council for Christian Education (BCCE), will provide, before the start of term 1, or as required, a letter to the schools identifying ourselves as anauthorised provider, and which includes the names of authorised teachers, their dates of birth and contact details.
