For generations we have had the ability to celebrate Christmas in schools, But due to religions and other beliefs we have had to change the way that many schools celebrate.
A public school shouldn't be based on certain religion nor should they take other people beliefs away, As respect we allow other children to wear items that represent their religion as well as speak their language so in respect wile we allow them to continue their beliefs shouldn't we be allowed to celebrate ours.
I don't see how taking away the children's opportunity to dance and sing about Santa Clause or anything that involves the Christmas spirit is fair on our children.
While it might not be banned as stated from the Education Department i feel that there are still some public schools that don't approve of the schools not commencing with anything to do with Christmas in the end of year celebrations ridiculous. But if the Education Department isn't stopping it why are certain schools? Shouldn't they all follow the same guide lines to make all Children feel the same and not that they should miss out.
We need to fight for our rights and bring back the true meaning of Christmas to the children who are missing out on the fun and laughter. Let them Sings Christmas Carols.

I had a Christmas concert when I was little in school and it didn’t offend anyone then. My son is 9 weeks away from turning one I would like to see Christmas concerts back by the time he starts kindy otherwise I will be home schooling him
Australian school Christmas celebrations are a tradition and should be continued - show me what other country's strong traditions would cease if Australians moved there to live in masses and said we dont believe in your traditions so we want you to stop as its offending us - NONE would do it!
This is Australia where we celebrate Christmas! Anyone that does not want to participate can choose not to but it should still be celebrated by the majority that do. We should not stop our traditions.
I'm not a Christmas person. But I grew up and my kid's grew up celebrating Christmas in school. My kid's loved it. Don't spoil it for our future generations. It's an Aussie tradition and should stay.
It's a sad society we live in when we can't enjoy our little children dressed up as Reindeer's, Angels and Santa's and listen to carols at school rather than an "end of year celebration"
Why spoil Xmas for the majority of kids? If some don't wish to partake in such festivities, let them go and play outside, or carry on studying if that is their wont.
Totally agree, Xmas is much more than presents, it is also about family.

Other religions are allowed to celebrate their festivals, including Chinese New Year. Why are we Christians suddenly being discriminated against in our own country which has always previously celebrated Christmas. If we are truly a multicultural country why do we have to loose our own culture.
