NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
SRE at Beresfield Public School is delivered by a Combined Christian Arrangement – We have trained and authorised SRE Teachers from local approved providers (churches). All SRE teachers are authorised to teach according to the NSW Dept of Education procedures. The SRE teachers use the Godspace material in their lessons. Information on the curriculum can be found at:

The local co-ordinator is Mrs Heather Oldham from Groundlevel Church, East Maitland.

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.
