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.
On enrolment parents/carers will be given an SRE participation letter (164KB) to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE should be given to the office, in writing.
Protestant SRE is provided by approved volunteers from the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. For more information about Protestant SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the Anglican Diocese of Sydney
