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!

Attending a Christian school has been a great blessing in my life. Being able to study the Bible, pray and openly discuss what God's Word teaches us with my peers and teachers challenged me to think critically about what I believe and why. Having teachers pray with me and for me, being living examples of Jesus, is a gift I will always value.
I strongly reject any pressure on Christian schools, for in them we have learned everything that is good, and we have freed our children to learn what we have learned and to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.
Both my boys attended a Christian primary school and it was a very positive, nurturing environment. My boys felt valued and enjoyed their primary school years. They still keep friendships from that time. Two of these primary school teachers even attended my son's wedding! Also as a parent I found the school very open to parent input.
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.
We desired education for our two daughters in a coeducational environment nurturing them in a Godly way which matched our religious beliefs. I then taught there as a teacher aide for 11 years, appreciating the heart of the College and starting our day in devotions and prayer with my colleagues, something I had not experienced in any other school position or workplace. The ethos of Christian values provided love, security and confidence, and growth for our family.
