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 the SRE participation letter to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE should be given, in writing, to the office.
At Jindabyne Central School, Combined Christian SRE is delivered on Fridays for K-6 students.
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending will participate in alternative meaningful activities under the supervision of a Classroom Teacher. Students will not be participating in lessons in the school curriculum or other extra-curricular activities during this time.
