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 thoroughly appreciated working as a teacher in the Distance education unit of the College 2009 till 2018. The experience of travelling over much of QLD and out through the NT, to encourage families in the pursuit of education consistent with their core values and individualised to cater for specific needs of students, was the highlight of my years as a teacher.
Two of my godsons are past pupils of Grace Christian College (formerly Mt Carmel Christian School). They received wonderful nurturing care and teaching of the Christian values of the sanctity of life, compassion and respect for all, honesty, integrity, the responsibility to work for a living, stewardship of resources etc. The education and character training received at this Christian school has provided an excellent foundation for 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.
I have many happy recollections of when I attended this wonderful school. One was the absolute feeling of being loved by the dear nuns who taught there. Their care, their concern and their kindness was palpable, even to a young boy of primary school age. I look back on those years with great fondness and every now and then I say a pray for those beautiful, loving, caring nuns, whom I remember to this day. They were great teachers, and the greatest lesson they taught was the love of God.
My children who have special needs are truly looked after. The teachers are able to pray for my children who are struggling. The teachers know my children by name. The teachers have the same beliefs as our family. Please continue to allow Christian schools in Australia.
