Students in Year 7 and Year 8 can access 1 period per timetable rotation of Special Religious Education (SRE). These lessons are delivered by a specialist teacher who works part time in the school.
The SRE program offered at Casino High School is Christian SRE. Additional details of Christian SRE programs can be obtained from SRE providers and contact details can be provided by the school if required.
When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not wishing to attend SRE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.
You’re welcome to change your choice at any time. Just let us know in writing via our school bytes app
School Bytes on the Apple Store, School Bytes on Google Play or contact us.

Our learning approach
Our school uses explicit teaching. This means we clearly tell students what they are learning, why it is important and how to do it step by step. Explicit teaching helps students understand new ideas by breaking them into smaller parts.
Learning at our school is student-centred, inclusive and practical. We are committed to equity and access. We support all learning styles and needs. Our teachers use proven teaching strategies. They take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with best teaching practice.
Our learning approach includes:
- real-world learning: hands-on tasks, group work and exploring new ideas
- technology: to help students learn and build digital skills
- flexible teaching: the right support for each student, with a focus on wellbeing
- community connections: through excursions and local programs.
Helping students progress
We support every student’s academic progress by:
- checking their progress and giving clear and timely feedback
- setting learning goals with each student
- giving extra help with personalised plans and support from specialist staff
- reporting on each student’s learning progress so parents and carers know how their child is doing
- providing targeted literacy and numeracy support in small groups
- making wellbeing part of everyday learning
- working with families to support learning at home and school
- helping students through transitions, like starting school or moving to a new stage of learning.
