Special Religious Education (SRE) and Special Education in Ethics (SEE)

NSW schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics. Approved providers deliver these, where available.

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

Scripture and ethics classes take place on Wednesdays 12:35 – 1:10pm. At West Pymble Public School, we have approved providers delivering classes for the following:

Protestant

Catholic K-4

Jewish

We also offer Ethics classes (years 1-6). Please note that ethics classes in certain year groups are full and your child may be placed on a waiting list.

Even weeks -K-2 and Years 3-6

This year we will be having a K-6 assembly every two weeks on the even weeks.

At our next assembly in Week 4 (Friday 21 February) we will be handing out Swimming ribbons, SRC Badges and Merit awards.

You are most welcome to join us at these assemblies commencing at 2:10pm.

Please note Kindergarten WILL NOT be attending this Friday's assembly - their first K-6 assembly will be in Week 6 (Friday 6 March).

Many Thanks
