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!

All my schooling was in Catholic schools. They helped me in my adult life to deal with issues in my personal and work life.
I had the honour to complete the majority of my primary and secondary schooling through Christian education across multiple years. Graduating from a Christian school gave me an incredible head start into my adolescent years. Attending Lighthouse Christian College was pivotal in my faith journey, character development and it gave me the necessary tools in forming a healthy worldview. I owe a large majority of who I am to my Christian education. I would not be where I am today if I didn’t have such excellence in education.
For our children, Christian schooling reinforced the Christian teaching and example my wife and I modeled at home. As adults, their core beliefs are strong and Christian values inform their decisions and attitudes as they live life. If Australia's leaders champion the right of people to choose and practice their beliefs then the choice of a Christian education that is true to its roots should always be available.
Our children experienced an enriching and supportive Christian education where our family values were reflected. They had wonderful, very dedicated professional and caring teachers whom they continue to respect as role models who helped prepare them for adult life. I am thankful for our Christian school’s partnership in helping us, as parents to raise our children in all aspects of their schooling but especially in supporting them in their faith. Not shying away from other world views or shoving religion at them but allowing them to express their views and work out their own faith.
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.
