ABOUT US
The Christian Religious Education Program (CREP-SC) aims to provide a Christian RI program in every state school on the Sunshine Coast. Many Sunshine Coast parents' consent YES to their children and young people participating in Christian RI. Christian RI provides consented students with the opportunity to question, explore, and discover Christian faith and values for themselves as part of a holistic education. Many parents, through their consent, support the teaching of Christian values. These values not only influence and shape the life journey of their children and young people, they fit with values-based education principles. |

Religious Instruction in local state schools is supported by the Queensland Education Act (2006) which permits up to 1 hour of RI each week per class.
On an average week, over 200 trained volunteers teach Christian RI to over 12 000 students on the Sunshine Coast!
Our RI Instructors use program materials that is approved by the local ministers fraternal and recommended by the CREP-SC board. Christian RI program materials meet the Queensland Education Standards and are contemporary and engaging materials for today's students.
CREP-SC provides high quality training of all RI team members (instructors, assistants/helpers, coordinators). This training ensures students, consented into RI, experience an engaging, safe, and encouraging discovery of the bible's answers to their Big Questions.
