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 Mortdale Public School, SRE and SEE is delivered on Thursdays from 9:55-10:25 (3-6) and 10:30-11:00 (K-2).
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 should be given to the office, in writing.
SRE providers at our school are:
Sydney Anglican Diocese
Catholic Doicese of Sydney
Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia
Islamic Charity Projects Association
More information about these providers including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence can be obtained via the link above.
SEE is provided by Primary Ethics. For more information about SEE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the Primary Ethics Website.
During the time SRE/SEE classes are being held, students not attending will be located in separate space and will participate in meaningful activities that include homework completion and activities associated with quality literature that has been read or viewed.
