NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
Scripture
Our Scripture classes are delivered on Monday afternoons from 2.00pm – 2.30pm.
On enrolment parents/carers are given the Special Religions Education Participation Letter to complete and return. Any changes to a child's S.R.E enrolment during their school years should be made in writing to the school office.
