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!

I went to a Christian school, I have taught at a Christian school and now my children go to a Christian school. The values, morals and community that we have experienced in these schools is unlike other places. They are part of a community, they are loved and accepted. They have support in counsellors and chaplains when problems arise. We have had practical support from the school, church and other families when we have been through difficult times. We have a community and we are loved.
The school I attended from Grade 3 to Grade 12 was at Christian Brothers College, Leederville (now Aranmore) in W.A. The Christian education I received there enthused me sufficiently to join the Order of Christian Brothers in 1963 based in Melbourne. Parents should most certainly have the right to send their children to the school of their choice.
As a Christian parent I sought a school that supported my faith in education and where my children were taught by teachers who also shared my faith. Christian schools seek to partner with families to care holistically for the children in their care.
All my schooling was in Catholic schools. They helped me in my adult life to deal with issues in my personal and work life.
Geraldton Christian College (GCC) is focussed on providing excellence in education to the Geraldton community. The school motto is Edify. They not only edify their internal stakeholders but external as well. My wife has a little friend who is a student at GCC. As a result we were invited to attend a ‘Grandfriends’ day…and what a wonderfully edifying experience it was. The school went over and above to make everyone welcome and a fantastic opportunity to see and hear of the great things that are happening in this wonderful school environment. This school is truly an ornament in our community and is building our next generation to take hold of life’s opportunities and shine for Christ.
