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.
At Clarence Town Public School, SRE is delivered weekly, on a Friday from 12.10pm to 1.30pm.
Christian SRE is provided by SRE teachers from the Presbyterian Church of Australia NSW.
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending scripture will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities such as reading, private study or completing homework.
