SRI News - Christianity
Special Religious Instruction - Christianity classes will be offered again this year. Andy May, Peter Warwick and I are sharing the classes and we’re looking forward to seeing the children we know again and hopefully meeting some new children as well. Parent permission forms were sent home with the eldest child in the family last Friday, and are also available at the Office. Classes will be run weekly on Mondays after school from 3.45 – 4.15pm, and we hope to begin on Monday March 6th. The sessions explore the beliefs and values of Christianity through stories from the Bible, with games and activities to help us think and make it fun. Our aim is to cater for all ages, Prep to Grade 6, with some time allocated for age appropriate discussion and activities. If anyone has any questions about the SRI program, don’t hesitate to give me a call.
