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.

Parkes High School Scripture

Christian Special Religious Education (Combined Churches) classes involve open discussion and interactive learning based on the authorised curriculum, Think Faith. The goal of these classes  is to provide students with opportunities to explore the bigger questions of life and gain a basic understanding of Christian beliefs and study contemporary issues related to the Christian faith. Students will also develop the critical literacy skills required to make informed decisions about the Christian faith for themselves. Fortnightly classes are held for  students in years 7-9.

Special Religious Education Teacher: David Hayward

Mr Hayward is employed by the Parkes Association for Christian Education.
