Especially as you are not religious I would encourage you to look into it further. FIRIS (fairness in religion in schools) is a useful organization for information.
Thanks I will - you learn something new everyday. I really know very little about religion in Australia full stop. Before reading the other thread and starting this one, and reading articles in the news, I would have thought "ahh what harm can it do", but now I am more along the lines of I think some downtime and playing games or reading would be more beneficial. If I was planning on sending the kids to a religious school I think I would feel more confident about what would be delivered at the religious school, than this SRI system in state schools. Really I am a bit puzzled about why a school would bother with it?
