Several students at Muirfield High School have requested to participate in prayer groups. These groups are voluntary and meet during lunch breaks. While the practices and content of the group will be monitored by Muirfield staff, in accordance with Department of Education policy, the discussion will be led by students themselves.

Following are details of the voluntary groups of a religious nature, which will operate at Muirfield High School:

Muslim Friday Prayers group meets during lunchtime on Fridays. This group is supervised by Muirfield staff.
Christian Prayer group meets during lunchtime on Fridays. This group is supervised by Muirfield staff.

The Department of Education's Religious Education and Special Education in Ethics policy requires parental permission for students who participate in voluntary student activities of a religious nature in schools. The procedures can be accessed through the following link:

If you give your child permission to attend, I encourage you to discuss your beliefs with your child. Should you have any concerns or wish to withdraw permission for your child to participate, please contact the school on (02) 9872 2244.
