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.
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending will remain in classes and will participate in meaningful activities such as reading, private study, or completing homework.
You can update your preference by completing ther paper enrolment note or through the online form.
