Religion and ethics

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 Fairvale Public School, Special Religious Education (SRE)  is delivered on Mondays over different times for different years.

  • K-2 attend from 1:30-2:00pm 
  • Stage 2 attend from 2:00-2:30pm and
