NSW schools offer special religious education (SRE) and special education in ethics (SEE). Approved providers deliver these, where available.
At Pennant Hills Public School classes run each week on Wednesdays. Primary classes from 9.20am - 9.55am, Infants 10.15am - 10.50am. The classes are run by volunteers from the community/denomination. The options for SRE are as follows;

Anglican Scripture introduces children to the Bible and the message of who Jesus is in a fun and engaging way. Our interactive classes are taught by trained SRE volunteers from St Mark's Anglican Church, Pennant Hills. The high quality, approved curriculum (Connect) allows children to explore matters of life and faith together.

Baptist Scripture consists of a K-2 class and a Primary Year 3-6 class, taught by members of Pennant Hills Baptist church. We present Bible stories and inspiring contemporary stories of faith, to help children explore spiritual and life issues at an age appropriate level.
