Religion

NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.

At our school, students can take part in special religious education (SRE) classes. These classes are delivered by approved providers.

When enrolling your child, you’ll be able to choose an option from the approved providers offered at our school. Students not attending SRE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities. You’re welcome to change your choice at any time. Just let us know in writing.

For more information about SRE, visit the department’s website or contact us.
