Religious and Ethical Education
Each week we provide the opportunity for our students to engage with trained volunteers who teach Ethics and Scripture. Students are divided into their preferred group, as chosen by the parents on enrolment, to engage in these lessons for 30 minutes each week. A staff member is present in all classrooms during these lessons to provide support to the students as needed.
We offer Catholic, Protestant and Islamic scripture and Ethics lessons are delivered in stage groups.
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.
