Religion and ethics

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.

We provide the following SRE classes: Catholic and Protestant. Each teacher of Special Religious Education is authorised by the approved provider.

 

The approved provider for Catholic SRE is the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine – Diocese of Wollongong. The SRE Curriculum is available at https://www.ccdwollongong.com/what-is-sre
