NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.
Write to the school if you wish to withdraw your child from special religious education, sometimes known as scripture. Special education in ethics is an option for your primary-age child if you withdraw them from special religious education. For more information, visit Religion and ethics.
At Nareena Hills Public School, a half hour of Special Religious Education (SRE) class and Special Education Ethics (SEE) is offered to students. Years 3-6 attend their lesson from 10:00-10.30am and K-2 from 10:30-11:00am on Thursdays.
