A feature of the public education system in NSW is the opportunity to provide time in class for education in faith and morality from a religious perspective at the choice of parents/carers.

The school website (link shown below) provides information on these options to support parent/carer choice.

Religion and Ethics - Merewether High School (nsw.gov.au)

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.

If your preferred Special Religious Education is not available, please contact the approved provider.

For more information about Special Religious Education (SRE) including the list of approved providers, please visit: https://education.nsw.gov.au/religion-and-ethics

The following option is available at Merewether High School:

Australian Christian Churches, delivering on behalf of Baptist Union of NSW, Anglican Diocese of Newcastle, Associated Christian Ministries, Presbyterian Church of Australia

SRE is held during Period 6 Friday. Students who do not attend the lessons will follow the regular school timetable. Those students remaining at school during Period 6 who do not attend Religious Education classes will be actively supervised by teachers.
