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.
MPS Information about Special Religious Education (SRE)
At Murringo Public School, SRE is delivered on Fridays for all classes. Classes participating receive 30 minutes SRE instruction time beginning at 9:30am. On enrolment parents/carers will be given the SRE participation letter to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE should be given to the class teacher, in writing.
SRE teachers are sourced from the Murringo community.
During SRE students not attending will be located in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities such as reading, private study or completing homework.
Students continue the same arrangements each year, unless a parent/caregiver has requested a change in writing. At any time, you have the right to change your SRE nomination or to withdraw your child from the nominated lessons. A note to the Principal will affect this change.
