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!

Our Christian School is a community of dedicated professionals who recognise, value and nurture the intrinsic qualities of every child in their classrooms. The appreciation of students as holistic individuals with unique gifts, passions and purpose is what makes Christian schooling unique. Our Christian school promotes my daughter's academic growth as part of her broader identity in Christ. Christian schooling allows a faith-based perspective to be integrated and evaluated alongside competing world views. It represents a broadening, rather than a narrowing, of educational perspectives. That is why I choose to send my daughter to a Christian school.
My two children who are now in their 40s benefitted greatly, with not only Christian teachers but Christian moral standards which has stood them in good stead in today's world. I now have three grandkids at the same school and they love being there.
A wonderful school family with very much an open-door policy to parents with both the principal and teachers alike. The Christian ethic was taught throughout all curriculums as a way of life. For many of the teachers, their jobs were vocational, and it showed. When my step-daughter died of a tragic accident many years ago, the class teacher asked our daughter's classmates to each make a love-card for her in remembrance of her step-sister. Parents made meals for us and grieved silently with us, as did our Church members. This school wasn't just educational, it was like an extended family network.
Our 3 children all attended Devonport Christian school (primary) and later Leighlands Christian school (secondary). All 3 loved their schooling and still talk about different memories they have of their time there with friends and teachers. In particular both schools reinforced beliefs, morals, and life principles that we as parents also hold. Our children felt very cared for and encouraged as they journeyed through their time at each school. Teachers often went above and beyond to help them when they may have been struggling.
Solid grounding in justice and compassion.
