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!

"Educating for Eternity" is the school's motto, and the importance of what this means is the main reason I chose for my son to be educated in a Christian environment. Lessons extend beyond the confines of classrooms and curriculum. Some of the more valuable things he has learnt at school have been imparted through the care shown to him in sometimes "challenging social situations". It takes a village to raise a child, and the nurturing and character-building connections between staff and students I see at our school are why we love our Christian school!❤
My youngest daughter attended Suncoast Christian College from yr 8 to yr 12 and before that all 4 of my children attended Emmaus Christian School in Canberra. As a high school teacher myself, and a Christian, I saw first hand the differences in attitude to life, development of Christian life principles that are neglected in the public schools, and a genuine care and respect for my children that is not always present in government schools. I would do it all again if need be.
For values that align with our worldview, and the opportunity for our Christian children to grow in an environment not just tolerant of but nurturing to their faith, our Christian school is so incredibly valuable.
I love how we live in a country where we have the choice of where we send our kids to school. We chose this school because we wanted our children to have an education that centred on our own faith and beliefs in Christ. One where they will be educated through the lens of the Bible and taught in a way that corresponds with our family’s worldview, all while being well- rounded, independent thinkers.
Apart from the influence of family, there has been nothing more beneficial to my children's upbringing than Christian education. They all attended good public schools for some time then changed. The difference and benefits of an education due to the influence of Christian teachers and a Biblical world view gave them far more than the state mandated curriculum could ever give. These benefits came at a school which is listed as a lower socioeconomic school. Money didn’t provide the benefits, the Christian ethos carried by the staff however did. There is nothing to a child up better for life than this.
