NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.
Write to the school if you wish to withdraw your child from special religious education, sometimes known as scripture. Special education in ethics is an option for your primary-age child if you withdraw them from special religious education. For more information, visit Religion and ethics.
Special Religious Education (SRE) is provided in public schools by authorised representatives of approved religious groups for instruction in the faith. Parents who choose to withdraw their child from scripture must do so in writing.
SRE classes are offered at Cherrybrook Public School during the time allocated on Friday mornings.
