Religion and ethics

Special religious education (SRE) is education in the beliefs and practices of an approved religious persuasion. Under the Education Act 1990, section, government schools allow time for special religious education. It is delivered by authorised representatives of approved religious groups to students who have nominated that religion.

Special education in ethics (SEE) is a program in ethical decision making, action and reflection within a secular framework. Under the Education Act 1990, government schools provide an option of SEE to students who are not attending SRE. Primary Ethics is the approved provider of SEE. SEE is currently available for students K-6.
