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 through high school, with a model for reverence and respect for a loving Gidhead in my life.
My parents came out from Italy as very poor immigrants. They bought a house and of course went into debt. Dad worked two hard labour jobs because one thing they would NEVER compromise was a Christian education for their four children. I am so glad that tradition continues with their grandchildren! To be grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Trinity is the ultimate blessing and the best guide to navigating this challenging life.
Both our children are teaching in Christian schools; our son at Nambucca Heads NSW and our daughter at Redlands College QLD. We must have our Christian schools able to remain Bible-based with no mixed messages. High, Christ like values must be held firm.
I attended an independent Christian school from year 5 to year 12 and it provided me with a high quality education. I learnt skills in numeracy, literacy, communication and everything in between. Adolescence is a very impressionable, formative season and attending a faithful Christian school was absolutely pivotal in showing me what it means to be to be a kind and active member of society. Having firm, absolute morals and biblical truth knitted into the inner workings of the school provided the firm foundation that young people need to thrive. Christian schools are Christian and should be allowed to align with their faith, just like political groups are political and are allowed to align with their own beliefs.
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.
