NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
Our scripture providers are:
- Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia
- Islamic Council of NSW
- Buddhist Council of NSW
- Anglican Archdiocese of Sydney
- Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney
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.
