Helping build school communities that are connected, supported and whole

Special Religious Instruction

In Christian Special Religious Instruction (SRI), children connect to the beliefs, values and stories of Christianity helping them make positive life choices. SRI offers meaning, purpose and hope in a busy and confusing world.

SRI helps build school communities that are connected, supported and whole; it gives children an understanding of the values, stories and beliefs of the Christian faith, a framework that has been supporting the spiritual wellbeing needs of millions of people all across the globe, for more than 2000 years. SRI validates students spiritual wellbeing needs and provides concepts and language to make sense of these.

About Christian SRI

Is your child benefitting from SRI? Christian SRI is a 30-minute session during lunchtime, before or after school, providing content and activities that help students make positive life choices. SRI support a child's overall wellbeing including their spiritual development, so important for life and learning.

SRI supports students spiritual wellbeing needs by giving children the opportunity to:
Learn how to connect with others in our multifaith society
Explore the Christian faith in a safe and supportive environment
Develop resilience, empathy, compassion and kindness for themselves and others through the stories and beliefs of the Christian faith.
Develop language and concepts to express and understand their spiritual experiences, from a Christian perspective.
Nurture their desire to make a difference in the world.
Develop meaning, purpose and hope, not based on success, experience or achievement, but based on something external to themselves.

A grade 3 student who recently commenced SRI said to me, “Tuesday is my favourite day because I have SRI."

SRI is good for students. It is good for community flourishing. SRI helps build communities that are connected, supported and whole.
