​​​​​​​​​​Religious Instruction

Queensland state schools embrace a multitude of cultural, religious and non-religious beliefs. Under the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006, schools are to provide Religious Instruction (RI) if approached by a faith group seeking to provide RI and students of that faith attend the school.

RI informs students about the beliefs and values of a particular religion. It is delivered by volunteers of a faith group using instructional materials approved by that faith group. RI is required to be consistent with legislation and Department of Education policies and procedures.

All RI instructors must hold a blue card and participate in compulsory Student Protection and Code of Conduct training. RI instructors are only entitled to deliver the RI program outlined below. A school staff member will be present during the delivery of RI.

Participation in RI is not compulsory. Any student (except Prep students) may participate in RI if a parent has provided written instructions to the school.

Students are allocated to RI based on information provided by parents on the student enrolment, ​unless other written instructions have been provided to the school.

Note: This consent remains in effect unless the parent informs the school otherwise in writing.​

Other Instruction

Students who are not participating in RI will be with a classroom teacher participating in a values lesson which is a reinforcement of our weekly PBL focus lesson. Lessons also centre around the Keys to Success:

  • Getting Along
  • Organisation
  • Persistence
  • Confidence
  • Resilience

​Parents will be advised of any changes to the RI and other instruction programs to ensure they are able to make an informed decision on their child's participation.
