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 have worked at two Christian schools and volunteered at four. My daughter went to a Christian primary school and all of my sons went to Christian high schools. I can vouch wholeheartedly that there is much more love and care and kindness in Christian schools. Christian staff rooms are quite different, peaceful, happy and positive and genuine care is portrayed when the students are being discussed.
We have two children at this school and we love it. We are also active with the church. It is fantastic to have a school with values that much our own faith. Our children love going to school.
My son and daughter loved this school because: 1. Teachers genuinely loved and cared about them and wanted the best for them. 2. Teachers and their aides assisted, supported and understood their learning difficulties 3. Moral and biblical values were taught and character development supported. Their children attended, and now their grand children. These reasons are still being upheld. I taught at this college for 26 years of my 40 years of teaching, these were my best years.
It was many years ago that we took into our family a 10 year old boy removed from his mother's abusive home permanently. The staff at this school must have found him very challenging but they always gave me the impression that they were blessed to have the opportunity to teach him. Our new son felt loved and accepted right from the start and I knew I could talk over any issues with the principal when I needed to.
I taught as a teacher at St Patrick's College, Launceston as well as at public high schools and the pastoral care for individuals there stood out in comparison. Christian schools are real family orientated communities that seek to do good and look out for each other especially the vulnerable as Jesus has taught us. They also teach social justice and care for the poor in practical ways. This is non-existent in public schools.
