NSW public schools offer special religious education and special education in ethics, delivered by approved providers wherever available.
At Muirfield High School, students are able to participate in voluntary student activities of a religious nature (VSA) which includes prayer groups, student-led discussions of a religious nature and lunchtime clubs. All students who participate in VSA must have parental permission. The school monitors the content of VSA activities. VSA do not attempt to proselytise or convert non-adherents of any religion or faith.
At Muirfield High School, SRE will be delivered from 2025, once a week for Years 7 & 8, for students with parental permission. In 2024, a seminar for SRE will be offered for students in years 7 to 11.
Notification of changes to a child's enrolment in SRE should be given, in writing, to the front office or school’s email.
The following SRE classes will be offered at Muirfield High School:
