Christian schools are wonderful faith-filled communities, where children are cared for and thrive.
Activists are working tirelessly to misrepresent Christian schools and stop them from influencing the next generation for Christ.
They will not stop. They oppose biblical truth.
People like you who are, or have been, the beneficiaries of Christian schooling should speak up now to defend Christian schools. If you don’t, the mission of Christian schools could be thwarted. They may even be shut down.
You have the right to choose an education for your child that reflects your Christian beliefs. This is a key part of the right to freedom of religion that is enshrined in international law.
If you, your child, or grandchild has had a positive experience at a Christian school – recently or in the past – please share a few words to say so.
Thank you for standing up for our Christian schools!

For our children, Christian schooling reinforced the Christian teaching and example my wife and I modeled at home. As adults, their core beliefs are strong and Christian values inform their decisions and attitudes as they live life. If Australia's leaders champion the right of people to choose and practice their beliefs then the choice of a Christian education that is true to its roots should always be available.
We need Christian values as the foundation of education. We don't need kids to be excellent in just academics but we really need them to have the right value system for this world.
Over 20 years ago, my non-Christian mum surprisingly enrolled me in a nearby Christian school. I remember the first day it was like walking into a whole new experience for me. Mum was having trouble backing out of the car in the small overcrowded car park. A woman seeing her trouble got out onto the road raised her hand to stop all the traffic and guided mum out and then gave a friendly smile and wave. The students showed respect for the teachers, and the teachers would go out of their way to offer kind and encouraging words and a lovely group of girls who would become lifelong friends. To this day I know it was the people around me at this Christian school who showed me what it was to love others and what it meant to love and know God.
I have witnessed a number of children both children of Christian and non-Christian parents attend this school and receive a rounded education, where love and acceptance was shown and not a school for just well-to-do families but students from all socio-economic backgrounds. Friends loved their Christian school and even the non-Christian families. Many families realised it was another option when a friend moved her children.
I've been a teacher and also sent my children to this beautiful Christian school. It is a community of joy where students celebrate life and their Christian faith. Christian teachers do everything they can to inspire their children to reach their God-given potential but also to care for them as whole beings. Students here are well loved, well known and well taught.
