NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
At Stuart Town Public School, SRE is delivered on 12:30 pm every Thursday.
On enrolment, parents and carers will be given the SRE and SEE participation 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 office, in writing or by emailing stuarttown-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au.
The following SRE classes are offered at Stuart Town Public School:
Combined Christian SRE is provided by Baptist Union of NSW, Anglican Diocese of Sydney. For more information about Combined Christian SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit https://whysre.com.au/sre-curriculum/cep-curriculum-overview
SEE is provided by Primary Ethics and is not currently available at STPS. For more information about SEE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the Primary Ethics website www.primaryethics.com.au
During the time that SRE/SEE classes are being held, students not attending will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities such as reading and independant study.
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.
