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 Biraban Public School, we are currently in the process of seeking SRE and SEE providers.
Once we have more information 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 that would be offered at Biraban Public School:
Non-denominational SRE is currently not available but would come from a combined group arrangement. More information about the non-denominational SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the Godspace website (www.godspace.org.au).
SEE is provided by Primary Ethics and is currently not available at Biraban Public School. For more information about SEE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the Primary Ethics website (https://primaryethics.com.au).
Until the time that SRE/SEE classes are being held, students will participate in meaningful activities such as reading and independent desk tasks.
