NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where 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 at any time by writing to the school.
Visit the department’s website for more information about religion and ethics.
At Somerton Public School, Christian SRE is provided by the Anglican Diocese of Armidale, where the curriculum is delivered by approved SRE teachers from the Manilla Anglican Parish in a combined arrangement with the Manilla Presbyterian Church. All Christian SRE teachers are authorised and trained by an approved provider.
More information about the Anglican Diocese of Armidale, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence is available on the Anglican Diocese of Armidale Website: Special Religious Education - Anglican Diocese of Armidale
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities which could include reading, private study or completing homework.
