Integrated and private schools don’t have to provide a secular education. Many integrated schools have a special character based on religious belief. They can have religious instruction and observance without closing the school.
In private schools, religious teaching depends on the contractual agreements you have with the school.
Integrated schools must still be considerate of different religious or philosophical views.
Integrated schools can’t make you take part in religious observance or religious instruction if you and your parents or guardians don’t want you to participate, and you practice a different religion.
