NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
During enrolment, you can choose a special religious education option for your child from the school’s available approved providers. You can withdraw your child from special religious education by selecting alternative meaningful activities, or special education in ethics if it’s available.
You can update your preference by writing to the school or through the online form available at participating schools.
Visit the department’s website for more information about religion and ethics.
Special Religious Education / Special Education in Ethics
Special Religious Education (SRE) / Special Education in Ethics (SEE) is not permitted in our school at this time. Current advice is that SRE and SEE returns to face to face when school operations are at Level 1 (School operating in a COVID-safe/COVID-normal way). Parents can access SRE/SEE lessons while learning from home.
There are three portal entry points to lesson content:
· Approved providers for All Faiths SRE (Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, Bahai, Hindu) https://www.betterbalancedfutures.org.au/learningfromhome
· Approved providers for Christian based faith SRE https://www.christiansre.com.au/learningfromhome
· Primary Ethics for SEE
