Religion and ethics

NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where 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.

Scripture classes offered at Mount Kembla Public School are Anglican and Catholic:
