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.
At Wadalba Community School, our secondary section of the school does not currently offer any SRE classes. Our Primary Section currently has the following options for SRE:
- Christian (delivered by providers from The Anglican Diocese of Newcastle, Condell Park Bible Church, The Lakes Evangelical Church)
The curriculum for these weekly 30 minute lessons can be found at:
For Years K - 5: https://godspace.org.au/curriculum/
For Year 6: https://cepconnect.com.au/curriculum
Students not attending SRE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.
A parent/carer may at any time notify the school in writing that they wish to change their decision. Students will continue the same arrangement as the previous year, unless a parent/carer has requested a change in writing.
