NSW Uniting church backs school climate strike, Sydney Anglicans and Catholics decline

Sydney Catholic Schools spokesman says 'the best way for young people to really make a difference is to receive a quality education'

Sydney Catholic and Anglican churches say they will not follow the example of the Uniting church, which has granted support to the school climate strike movement and given students support to attend the marches.

Students across the country are planning to walk out of school on Friday 20 September, to protest government inaction on the climate crisis. Thousands of Australian students participated in two previous strikes, which have since grown into a global movement of millions.
