Welcome to ASR!

Kim-Maree Goodwin Dear Teacher,

Welcome to the Association for Studies of Religion (ASR) and this website.

We are an association of teachers of Religion based in New South Wales. Members come from Independent and Government schools and our main emphasis is on the HSC Studies of Religion course. We help provide resources, advice, Seminars for teachers and students, a newsletter and give advice to the NSW Board of Studies.

This website is a place for you to find information about the ASR, link to helpful sites, find resources and a place to share your ideas, successes and concerns. Feel free to contribute your ideas, ask questions or contact members of the committee. We are always keen to learn of the expertise of our members and would appreciate your contact.

The study of Religion is so important to understanding our world, and especially multicultural Australia. Proof of the agreement of the importance of this can be found in the number of students choosing to undertake 'Studies of Religion'. There are a total of 32,911 students enrolled in 2010, across the Preliminary and HSC years. 2434 (more than 7%) are in government schools This makes Studies of Religion the 5th most popular HSC subject.

We hope you find this website interesting and useful as you develop your understanding and your teaching skills.

Kim-Maree Goodwin
President
