CHRISTIAN TEACHERS AND STAFF ARE the heart OF CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS.
BUT THEIR FUTURE IS UNDER THREAT.
It’s hard to imagine, but hiring a Christian teacher or staff member at a Christian school because they are actually a Christian may be seen as “discrimination.”


Under the current policy proposals:
- Christian schools won’t be able to recruit staff because they have a living faith
- Christian schools won’t be able to provide an integrated, Christian education
- Parents will no longer have the choice of a genuine Christian education for their children

Strange, but no one in the Government has asked what parents want.

Are they making a difference in your child’s life? Here’s a good place to let them know.
"Schooling is not just about academic education. Children can't compartmentalise themselves, just focusing on academic skills from 9-3 each day. We all have emotional, social and spiritual needs that can't be 'turned off' during the school day. Christian schooling allows children to be their true selves, with the freedom to develop all areas of their life within a safe and supportive environment."
Anthea, a Christian teacher in Western Australia
"Christian teachers have a personal relationship with someone who is in the business of restoration, forgiveness, grace, miracles and second chances. Christian teachers are the link between young people feeling overwhelmed, apathetical, depressed, stressed, anxious and lacking purpose and young people living a life with meaning and purpose."
Dave, a Christian teacher in New South Wales
"I have seen children move from fear, helplessness and not having purpose to being excited and fully engaged in life. This has happened when I have been able to develop a relationship with students, get to know them and speak God's heart so they have courage to both see themselves and the world differently and make a change."
Tim, a Christian teacher in Queensland
"Being a Christian teacher makes you think about "What would Jesus do?" The ultimate teacher, with his humility and servant heart. People followed him because he took the time to listen to others and show an interest in people, and through him people wanted to know about God. This is the power of a Christian teacher."
Desiree, a Christian teacher from Queensland
