As the 2025 Federal Election approaches, it is crucial that we unite to advocate for the future of Christian education in Australia.

Christian Schools Australia (CSA) has organized a Christian Schools Election Forum, "Free to Flourish," where they will engage with local candidates and current members of parliament on key issues affecting not only our school but all Christian schools.

This event aims to inform community members about the critical issues impacting Christian education, how they can advocate for faith, flourishing, and funding in the upcoming election, and how we can collectively ensure that Christian education remains strong, accessible, and aligned with our values.

The Christian Schools Election Forums will be attended by local candidates and current members of parliament who will engage with those in attendance.

The event will be held at the CityLife Auditorium, Wantirna South, on Tuesday, 29th April, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

This event is non-partisan in nature; CSA will not be telling people how to vote, but they will be explaining the three election commitments that impact the ability of schools to effectively operate in the future:

• Freedom for Faith
• Focus on Flourishing
• Fairness in Funding

Details of the event and to register can be found here.

I appreciate your consideration in participating in this event to be better informed on the three areas above and to ensure your voice is heard.

As we draw close to the end of the term, I hope your child has had an enriching learning journey over the past ten weeks. I would like to wish everyone a restful term break. I pray that we will be able to spend some time reflecting on the magnitude of God's love through Jesus’ death and resurrection during the Easter period.
