Special Religious Education and Special Education in Ethics Participation Letter
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 https://sylvania-p.schools.nsw.gov.au/ 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.
