Religion and ethics

Hambledon Public School offers special religious education (SRE), also known as 'School Scripture'. 

Research has shown that SRE contributes to students’ wholistic education as it nurtures their spiritual wellbeing. For more information about the SRE curriculum visit whysre.com.au.

School scripture times

Scripture lessons are held each Tuesday in the middle session:

  • 11:30am - 12:00pm for Year 3-6 students
  • 12:00-12:30pm for K-2 students.

Students who elect not to participate in SRE will be supervised by a classroom teacher during this time.

How do I enrol my child in scripture?

When you enrol your child at school you will be given the SRE participation letter to complete and return.

If you wish to make changes to your child's current enrolment in SRE, please notify the office in writing.
