What is the authorisation process for SRE teachers?
Every person who teaches SRE in a NSW government school must be authorised by an approved religious persuasion. This is usually done at a local level, with the head of the local church authorising teachers for schools within the church boundaries. Most ICCOREIS member churches have an authorisation/engagement form that the teacher and the authorising party must complete. The teacher is then issued with a card which they must carry when on the school grounds, as proof of their authorisation. For further details, see Chapter 3 of the SRE Handbook. For the requirements of specific denominations, see the SRE Authorisation page.
