A feature of the public education system in NSW is the opportunity to provide time in class for education in ethics, faith and morality from a religious or non-religious perspective at the choice of parents.

The school website (link shown below) provides information on these options to support parent/carer choice.

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.

For more information about Special Religious Education (SRE) and Special Education in Ethics (SEE), including the list of approved providers, please visit: https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/curriculum/learning-across-the-curriculum/religion-and-ethics

If your preferred SRE or SEE option is not available, please contact the approved provider. Students not attending SRE or SEE are given supervised alternative meaningful activities.

Currently only scripture or alternative meaningful activities (non SRE/SEE) are available at Wallsend South. At this time we have not been able to engage a sufficient number of people to coordinate and run the Ethics (SEE) program.

Scripture is available to students in grades 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.

The following options are available at this school. Please select one option only.(only if your child is in year 2, a new student to Wallsend South in grades 2-6 or you wish to change your child's arrangement).
