At Black Mountain Public School time is allowed for the Special Religious Education (SRE) of children.
The SRE to be given to children of any religious persuasion is to be given by a member of the clergy or other religious teacher of that persuasion authorised by the religious body to which the member of the clergy or other religious teacher belongs.
SRE is currently provided by a volunteer authorised by the Anglican Dioceses of Armidale. Parents/caregivers may at any time notify the school in writing that they wish to withdraw their child from SRE. Parents/caregivers will then be advised of specific information about alternative options.
