NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
At Hinton Public School, special religious education (SRE) is delivered to K-6 students on Mondays from 2.50pm-3.20pm. SRE is organised into two groups, K-2 and 3-6.
On enrolment, parents/carers will be given an SRE participation letter to complete and return. After the initial enrolment, notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE should be given to the office, in writing.
The SRE classes offered at Hinton Public School are non-denominational and are provided by approved volunteers from various denominations following the authorised curriculum scope and sequence (click on the link below for further information).
During the time that SRE classes are being held, students not attending scripture will be located in a separate space (known as non-scripture) and will participate in meaningful activities such as reading, private study or completing homework.
Write to the school if you wish to withdraw your child from special religious education, sometimes known as scripture. For more information, visit Religion and ethics.
