NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.
At Stanwell Park Public School, SRE and SEE is delivered on Tuesdays from 9.00-9.30am.
On enrolment parents/carers will be given the SRE and SEE participation letter (consider uploading and hyperlinking your schools letter) to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE/SEE should be given to the school, in writing.
The following SRE classes are offered at Stanwell Park Public School:
- Catholic SRE is provided by Catholic Diocese of Wollongong. More information about Catholic SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong website http://www.dow.org.au/.
