Special religious education (SRE)
All public schools must provide school time for visiting clergy or their community volunteers to conduct SRE classes. We are most fortunate to have many volunteers from our community providing Religious Education for our students.
If parents want their child to be withdrawn from SRE, they are requested to put this in writing addressed to the school principal.
During SRE time, children are grouped according to the following choices:
- Protestant (Church of England, Presbyterian, Methodist)
- Roman Catholic
- non-scripture.
Teachers stay in the classroom to help supervise children as a group during SRE. Non-scripture students are supervised in the computer pods and complete self-directed activities, i.e. no work is set by classroom teachers during this time.
Chaplaincy program
Our school Chaplain, Jamie Monk offers mentoring for students who could benefit from developing their social & emotional well-being or their leadership potential. If you think your child could benefit from this free service then please contact the school office and ask to chat with Jamie about what mentoring could look like for your child.
Mr Monk uses his experience to help the students at Primbee Public School develop their social skills, confidence and adaptability through a range of fun activities including team building, problem solving, guitar lessons, and physical exercise.
Using the medium of play, Mr Monk engages the students and encourages them to think and act in a way that reinforces the school's core values of respect, liveing life well, compassion, responsibility and personal best.
