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 thoroughly appreciated working as a teacher in the Distance education unit of the College 2009 till 2018. The experience of travelling over much of QLD and out through the NT, to encourage families in the pursuit of education consistent with their core values and individualised to cater for specific needs of students, was the highlight of my years as a teacher.
I went to a christian school St Philip's christian college (SPCC) port Stephens for 7 years from year 5 to year 12. Finishing in 2012. I was very fortunate to go to a Christian for that 7 years, being brought into strong ethical principles of honour, truth and discipline. These have carried on into my current ethic in everyday life: work, family and community outreaches.
Two of my children went to Catholic schools and two went to State schools. Christian schools should be able to teach the curriculum appropriate to their Christian beliefs, as well as influence the students in the way they should live. I said influence, not demand! The beliefs should (and are usually) stated, so if you send your child there, the assumption is that you agree with those beliefs.
I am so glad I sent my children to Donvale for their secondary years. Terrifically caring, supportive, prayerful. Christianity wasn’t pushed hard but gently came through shown through love as well as genuine care. Great friends were found. A Christian school has that something extra as it aligns with our faith and morals and standards. Any school can teach curriculum but not all can grow people in faith and be outward-looking citizen’s of the world.
My kids love their school, and they are Christian.
