History
In 2018, the Acting Head Felicity Grima signed a petition with the Anglican Diocese of Sydney to retain s 38(3) in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984(Cth) which allows private religious schools “the right to employ staff who support the ethos of the school. This is not inconsistent with the practice of most employers and their corporate goals, let alone political parties,” the letter said.
“It is essential that a teacher supports the values, ethos and mission of the school as much as he or she can. It is not appropriate, for example, for a teacher to undermine or denigrate the beliefs and teaching of an employing school.” [1] In the petition it was argued that a more general right' to religious freedom should exist, and the existing exemptions, however, clumsy in the Sex Discrimination Act, should remain.[1]
