Religious Education

We are glad to be able to help you prepare your child for celebrating the Sacraments.   Details of the programme for 2012 are detailed below.    The programme is held each Wednesday during school term from 4-5pm in the Floreat Wembley Parish Centre (corner of Grantham Street and Kenmore Crescent). All ceremonies will be held at St Cecilia's.

The programme is run by our parish catechists who are dedicated volunteers who also have family or other commitments after classes.  We, therefore, thank you in anticipation of your support and co-operation.

DUTY OF CARE STATEMENT

The parish has a duty of care to children attending the after school. Your child's safety and well being are most important and we seek your support and co-operation.

We advise you, therefore, that:

  •  Classes commence at 4pm and finish at 5pm. Please be punctual.
  •  All children must be dropped off and picked up promptly within these times. It is the parents' responsibility to drop off and pick up their child/children.
  • Should your child arrive before this time and there is no catechist to supervise, it is your responsibility to supervise your child until such time as a catechist arrives. The child must stay with you during this time.
  •  If you are delayed in picking up your child, then you should make alternative arrangements.
  •  In cases of emergency, the parish phone number is 9387 1158 
  •  As a safety precaution we ask that you follow the protocol of the parking area and enter via Peebles Road and exit via Grantham Street.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that your child attends classes. If your child is unable to attend a class then you should notify the parish secretary.
