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 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.
I sent my daughter to Genesis when she was in high school, making the financial sacrifice as a single parent because I knew with her personality and strong will to do "her own thing". I needed the extra help of a faith-filled, Bible teaching community to support and guide her in a world that was rapidly turning away from God.
After going to "Christian" schools that have only been Christian in name, it really made a difference when I went to BCC who stood up for what they believed in. There was no fear to share my beliefs and we could discuss issues like gay marriage and transgender issues with our teachers respectfully. I really felt that my teachers cared about me and cared about my spiritual health. If I stayed in the other school I know I wouldn't have become the strong young woman I am today.
My 3 children attended our little Christian School as far as they could go in our school at the time and they had excellent grounding in all subjects, which helped them immensely, as they entered higher school years at other schools. The best thing though was the wonderful Christian values that were reinforced from home. Now my grandchildren attend this school and are very happy and settled.
Each of my 3 children were given a Christian perspective on our world while learning. Teachers reinforced family values and how to live out your faith practically.
