Religion and ethics

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 Salt Ash Public School, SRE is delivered on Friday mornings between 10 and 11am for all K-6 students. On enrolment 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 enrolment in SRE/SEE should be given to the office, in writing.

The following SRE classes are offered at Salt Ash Public School:

Combined SRE is provided by Port Stephens Church of Christ. More information about Combined SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit https://godspace.org.au

During the time that SRE/SEE classes are being held, students not attending will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities (activities could include reading, private study or completing homework).

Write to the school if you wish to withdraw your child from special religious education, sometimes known as scripture.
