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.
Special Religious Education (SRE):
Combined Christian SRE (Scripture) is taught by trained and authorised teachers across 13 denominations and 23 churches, with curriculums approved by all.
At Tyalla Public School the teachers are sourced from: Australian Christian Churches, Baptist Union of Churhces, Evangelical Brotherhood Church, Presbyterian Church of Australia (NSW), and Wesleyan Methodist Church of Australia, using curriculums approved across churches.
Participation in SRE is elected on your child's enrollment form. If a parent wishes to change their child's participation in SRE a written note to the school is essential.
