Christian Religious Instruction
Currently 1400 children in our local state primary schools have parental consent to attend weekly Religious Instruction classes.
Unfortunately, only 900 of these children are receiving regular lessons, due to a shortage of volunteer RI instructors.
According to a recent national survey by McCrindle Research, 99% of Australian parents think that it is important to teach values to Australian school students. 84% believe that Australia’s Christian heritage has been influential in shaping those values.
Many parents choose Christian RI for their children, even if they don’t regularly attend Church, in order to give their children the opportunity to question, explore and discover faith and values for themselves as part of a holistic education.
Christian RI provides a safe environment for children to develop a positive self-image, identity and resilience. It gives young people an opportunity to form their understanding of the morals and values from the teachings of Jesus.
To reach the 500 extra local primary children permitted to attend RI that are missing out, we need more instructors.
