Teacher salaries account for about two-thirds of every school’s expenditure. But not at Redeemer Baptist School.
An acclaimed Sydney private school with an extensive property portfolio has raked in tens of millions in government funding in a decade – all while its teachers go unpaid, relying on a small stipend and, for some, Centrelink benefits.
Redeemer Baptist School in North Parramatta promises parents a disciplined education. It shares the same leafy parklands as The King’s School and Tara School for Girls. Redeemer’s students boast high ATARs and win state science competitions. It has been praised in parliament and is visited by politicians and dignitaries.
The Redeemer Baptist Church wants the world to believe it’s a loving Christian community devoted to doing God’s good work, and that the elite school it operates in Sydney’s western suburbs is a perfect example of that.
But if that’s the case, why is the church now being so vociferously challenged?
Alexandra Garth was born into the church, unaware of the control she would experience. Nine
In a joint 60 Minutes, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age investigation, former insiders make serious allegations about Redeemer, saying it’s built on a foundation of control, exploitation and questionable financial dealings.
Redeemer Baptist School has stellar academic results and mid-range fees. But some students feel like they can never leave.
When Alexandra Garth was in primary school, she was punished by her teachers for not wearing the mandated black underwear. Teachers would conduct uniform inspections and, if flashes of colour were spotted, students would be reprimanded. The rule remains – though checks have been abandoned – at Redeemer Baptist School in North Parramatta.
The school sits on the corner of Pennant Hills Road and Masons Drive, sharing manicured parklands with The King’s School and Tara Anglican School for Girls. With heritage-listed sandstone turrets and iron gates, Redeemer promises parents the Sydney private school dream: a prestigious, disciplined education for a fraction of the cost.

The students at Mazenod College were spoken to after the school caught them cheating using AI. (Facebook)
Year 12 students at an all-boys school in Melbourne have been caught cheating on an English exam using AI.
The students were spoken to after a school investigation into the incident, and their marks were reduced.
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority's rules state that using AI may breach academic integrity.
An all-boys school in Melbourne's outer east says it has taken action after several students were caught cheating on a Year 12 exam using AI.
Mulgrave's Mazenod College said it had recently discovered that some of its Year 12 students had used AI tools in an oral English exam, but would not confirm the exact number.
Almost a quarter of year 12 students at a boys’ school in Melbourne’s outer east have been caught using AI to cheat on a key English exam.
Up to 50 boys at Mulgrave’s Mazenod College were caught after their oral assessments, submitted two weeks ago, aroused suspicion among teachers and triggered a review of the assessments.
The Catholic school’s principal Paul Shannon said the review uncovered evidence of AI being used by students to help them in their exams, which were designed to assess the students’ understanding of the subject and to test their independent thinking.
He said the students were spoken to and had “the appropriate reduction in marks for the affected assessment”.

DC Studios co-head Peter Safran is backing Milly Alcock as her Supergirl comments continue to draw backlash.
The latest comes from Variety’s new profile on Alcock, where the actress again addressed online criticism and fan reaction.
The article also reveals Safran personally reached out to Alcock after the previous flare-up over her Vanity Fair comments, where she talked about people having a “weird ownership of women’s bodies.”
According to Variety, Safran contacted Alcock after noticing the reaction to her remarks.
“I called her and just said, ‘You’re doing great! You’re handling it beautifully. You’re never going to make everybody happy. Just be true to yourself,’” Safran said. “And I really do think she’s handling it well. I would also recommend, don’t wallow in it. It never makes you feel good.”

It adds that the UK will see hotter temperatures than parts of Africa and the Mediterranean as hot and humid air pushes across north-west Europe.
The Daily Telegraph leads with the news that families visiting popular tourist spots in the UK could face a holiday tax as mayors consider implementing "overnight visitor levies" to help struggling councils.

The Maritimo Katwinchar is looking to make history as the oldest boat to compete in the race at 122 years old.
Favourable weather conditions mean the first boats could come into Gladstone early Saturday morning.
The skipper of a yacht built in a London brewery 122 years ago is chasing glory as he launches into what could be the boat's final race before entering a museum.
The Maritimo Katwinchar is among 29 taking part in the 78th annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race today, with a race briefing starting at Moreton Bay from 10am.
The fleet is confirmed for the 78th Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race, set to start tomorrow on Good Friday, 3 April 2026.
The 308 nautical mile offshore passage from Brisbane to Gladstone remains one of the most respected challenges in Australian sailing, drawing experienced offshore crews as well as emerging teams stepping up to test themselves along the Queensland coast.
This year’s fleet includes Rolex Sydney to Hobart veterans Wild Thing 100, Maritimo Katwincher, a beautifully restored 120 year old vessel, and V5 from New Zealand. It is a strong line up that should deliver plenty of action and great vision at the start.
