Last Call: Prayer Breakfast // Praying as a community for our community

Our Prayer Breakfast is tomorrow morning and would love you to join us as we gather in fellowship, encouragement, and prayer for the life of our school and wider community.

Together, we'll share breakfast, hear encouragement from God's Word, and spend time praying for our students, families, staff, and the many opportunities and challenges before us.

We will also hear from students as they share how they have seen God at work in our community, and receive an update from a local pastors about gospel ministry in our local area. It is an encouraging morning of hearing, reflecting, and praying together.

Community Update // Earlier this week, we shared the difficult news that our 60th Anniversary Thanksgiving Celebration and Spring Fair have been postponed due to heartbreaking circumstances affecting our school community.

We would like to thank our Tyndale family and wider community for the many messages of support, understanding, and prayer during this time.

We are looking forward to gathering together to celebrate this significant milestone and give thanks for God's faithfulness over 60 years of Christian education.

At this stage, we are planning for our Thanksgiving Service to take place in Term 4, 2026, with the School Fair to be held in Term 1, 2027. While exact dates are yet to be confirmed, we look forward to sharing further details soon.

Together in Christ.

Answering "Anglican", "Catholic", or "Baptist" on the Census isn't a test of church attendance

What the Bureau of Statistics is actually measuring.

Why writing your specific denomination helps community planning more than generic labels.

The Bureau of Statistics definition of religious affiliation is simple: it’s the faith group you associate with, even if that differs from your active practice or participation.

The Daily Declaration reports that the Albanese government has adopted 35 of 54 recommendations from a national report by Special Envoy Aftab Malik, confirming a February warning that its measures would embed compulsory religious content and conduct rules tied to a single faith across Australian institutions.

Funding will flow to embed “anti-racism, cultural safety and diversity best practice” into early learning and school-age care through the National Quality Framework, alongside a new online Social Cohesion Education Hub for educators and parents.

An independent review published earlier this year by education researcher Dr Terry Harding warned that, if implemented the Malik report’s recommendations would see Islamic content mandated in state school curriculums and give one religious group influence over parliamentary conduct rules.

Harding noted that religious education in Australian state schools has held “opt-in” status since 1872, and argued the Malik report’s curriculum recommendations would reverse that principle for one faith. He wrote that mandating Islamic content across school subjects “gives the appearance… of a government-preferred religion soon to be inhabiting what has been deemed to be a secular school system.”

Christian schools are asking our political leaders commit to:
- Protecting freedom for faith in schools to hire and manage staff according to their Christian ethos
- Making sure classroom teaching stays focused on learning, not influenced by social or political agendas
- Keeping Christian schools affordable through fair government funding
