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.

Visit the department’s website for more information about religion and ethics.

During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending SRE will be supervised by a teacher in a specific location of the school. They will participate in activities that do not compete with SRE and are not lessons in the curriculum. Some activities include reading, drawing and other activities considered appropriate by the school community.
