|
Christianity’s influence in Australia on education and medical care since 1901 can be seen throughout all denominations. Religious motivation to teach from a Christian perspective, with Christian values about God, has resulted in a significantly large proportion of Australian children educated under the Catholic Church. Christian schools has impart on many sectors such as employment of staff and the general education of children. Christian influence on Medical care has support the Australian outback and provided care for the needy. The support provided by people such as Reverend John Flynn and nuns in Sisters of Charity shape the Australia we see today. The impact of Christian education in Australia affects both the public and private sectors. The most influential part of education which Christianity is involved with is primary and secondary schools. Most non-government schools are sponsored by Christian organisations and parishes. These Christian schools are setup by early European priest and nuns settling in Australia. These include ‘The Good Samaritan Sisters’, ‘Sisters of St Joseph’ and ‘Christian Brothers’. State aid was a major issue during 1962, where the Australian government witnessed the importance of Christian schools to Australia. The closure of four Goulburn Catholic schools saw over two thousand children trying to enrol into the local government schools. About one-third were accommodated as there were not enough room in the public schooling system and so the government finally realised the importance of Christian schools. Renewing state aid for Christian schools, the government in turn was relieved of the pressure of placing more public schools.
