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!

Being a founding Board member; with four of our children and with four of our grandchildren attending Dubbo Christian School. If we had our time over again and given the society in which we live in 2022, we would make the same decision and enroll our children in Dubbo Christian School or another like-minded school near to where we live.
As an Army Chaplain and a Christian I have been posted to many locations around Australia and my children have been welcomed into Christian school communities wherever I have sought to place them. The schools have provided continuity of education and promoted Christian values that have blessed us as a family. All of my children are tertiary trained and now contribute to the community as teachers, a human resource manager and public servants.
I felt valued and was shown genuine care. The staff understood that spiritual development was as important as physical and academic development. We chose to send our daughter to the same school and 30 years after I attended, it was still the same positive and encouraging environment I had experienced.
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.
My school experience supported the Christian values of the loving, caring home I was privileged to be raised in. Our school days began with a brief chapel service, focusing on the Word of God, imparting an understanding of the value of every life, encouraging us to use our gifts to benefit others.
