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.
At Elderslie High School, Special Religious Education or SRE is generally delivered on Thursdays and Fridays for one lesson per fortnight for participating students.
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 school office, in writing.
The following SRE classes are offered at Elderslie High School: Christian SRE.
Combined Christian SRE is provided by Generate Ministries. More information about Christian SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit the following website - https://whysre.com.au/images/files/About_Think_Faith.pdf
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending will remain in their classrooms and will participate in meaningful activities including reading, private study or completing homework.
