Name of Denomination - Ethics
Commencing in 2021 we will be offering ethics classes to our Kindergarten students only. The approved curriculum scope and sequence can be found at the following website.
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities. (activities may include reading, private study or completing homework).
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.
