NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
Special religious education (SRE) is the beliefs and practices of an approved religious persuasion delivered by authorised representatives of that persuasion. It is the distinctive religious tenets and beliefs of the home and family, provided by the churches and other religious groups for children of the parents expressing the desire that they receive such teaching. Valentine Public School's SRE is delivered by Godspace see link for their Department of Education approved curriculum. Godspace
Special education in ethics (SEE) is education in ethical decision making, action and reflection within a secular framework, based on a branch of philisophy.
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.
