Religious Instruction
Scripture classes are provided for Catholic and Combined denominations. It is expected that students will attend unless a note is received seeking exemption. SRE (Special Religious Education) & SEE (Special Education in Ethics) participation forms are completed upon enrolment. A parent/carer may at any time notify the school in writing if they wish to change their decision.
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.
