Religion and ethics

NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.

At Grose View Public School, SRE is delivered on Tuesday from 2.00 pm for students in K and Yr 5-6, and from 2.30 pm for students in Yr 1-4.

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 office in writing.

The following SRE classes are offered at Grose View Public School:

Catholic SRE is provided by the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta. For more information about Catholic Diocese of Parramatta SRE, including the authorised curriculum scope and sequence, please visit https://parracatholic.org/

Combined Christian SRE is education in Christian beliefs and practices for children of families from various Christian denominations and churches. Combined Christian SRE teachers at this school are authorised and trained by the following approved SRE providers:  Kurrajong and North Richmond Anglican Church (www.knac.org.au).

The SRE curriculum used in this school is produced by Christian Education Publications and is approved by each SRE provider. The curriculum explores the good news about Jesus Christ found in the Bible and the depth of God’s love for people. Each lesson has been developed to be taught in an age-appropriate manner. Lessons include activities which make the lessons fun and inclusive for children and young people, and also give them the opportunity to critically explore and deepen their faith, pray, and reflect.

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.
