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 Bald Face Public School, Special Religious Education (SRE) and Special Education in Ethics (SEE) is delivered on Friday for 30 minutes at 1:00pm for students K-6.
During the time that SRE/SEE classes are being held, students not attending are supervised in a separate space and will participate in meaningful activities which may include reading, private study or completing homework.
On enrolment parents or carers will be given the SRE and SEE participation letter to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE or SEE should be given to the school office staff, in writing.
