Parents/caregivers in public schools have the right to have their children receive instruction in their preferred religious persuasion, where authorised teachers of that persuasion are available.
A special religious education program is available at Barrenjoey and is run by authorised volunteers of approved religious persuasions.

At any time, parents/caregivers have the right to change the SRE nominations or to withdraw their child from the nominated lessons. A note to the school email will affect this change. - barrenjoey-h.school@det.nsw.edu.au
