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 Parramatta High School, Special Religious Education (SRE) is delivered on Wednesdays from 12:00-12:50.
Parents/carers will be given the SRE and SEE participation letter to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's SRE nomination should be given to the Principal, in writing.
Parramatta High School currently offers Christian SRE which is provided by teachers who are authorised and trained by the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. The curriculum can be viewed at www.thinkfaith.com.au
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 such as wellbeing activities related to their year group.
