We would like to inform you about the Religious Instruction (RI) arrangements currently in place at Yeronga State School.
Religious instruction is provided to students who are members of a faith group that has approval to deliver religious instruction at the school and/ or parents have indicated that they wish their children to participate in the available program.
Religious leaders who wish to provide religious instruction to students of their faith group apply to the principal in writing to establish a single (one faith group only) or cooperative arrangement (more than one faith group working together). At Yeronga State School a Christian cooperative arrangement is available.
Upon enrolment parents of child/ren participating in these programs will be advised if a faith group requires funds to cover the expense of materials used in RI. Classroom teachers can inform parents when RI is held each year.
Students are allocated to RI based on information provided by parents on the completed Enrolment application form (PDF, 2.6MB) unless other written instructions have been provided to the school.
Note: This information remains operational unless the parent informs the school otherwise in writing. If you wish to change this please
contact the office.
Students who are not participating in RI will be provided with other instruction in a separate supervised location. Other instruction must relate to part of a subject area already covered in class.
Current RI available at Yeronga State School:
Participation in RI is
not compulsory, but any student (with the exception of Prep) may participate in RI if a parent has given consent and indicated a religion on the application for student enrolment form or in other written advice to the principal. Consent is followed up on an annual basis, after commencement of Term 1.
