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. 

Special Religious Education (SRE)/Special Education in Ethics (SEE) is not currently permitted in Greater Sydney, including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour.

Approved providers have modified their authorised curriculum to enable students to learn from home.

On behalf of The Oaks Public School community, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Gundungurra and Dharawal peoples, who have occupied these lands for over 65,000 years. The Oaks area was considered as a crossroads for both Gundungurra and Dharawal peoples, where they would share knowledge, trade materials and travel between the two nations. They will always be the traditional custodians of this land. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledge their deep spiritual connection to this land and the valuable contribution they make to this region, for they hold the knowledge and wisdom for our emerging leaders. As a community, we promise to always be honest, safe and respectful caretakers of this land we are learning on. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
