    It can depend on how 'open' the school and associated church is.

    Which particular type of Christianity is it?

    I'm not totally sure for admin, but I know that at the school I went to they were so harsh on teachers/students alike. The teachers had to sign contracts that were ridiculous ie no homosexual conduct, no sex before marriage (can't live with boyfriend/girlfriend out of wedlock etc.
    One teacher was fired cause they found out he was gay, it was awful
    I'd avoid religious schools, and I'm a christian!
    Good luck xxxx

    The other side to this is... how are you going to feel working around Christians all day every day? Do you get annoyed by them (us, me)? If they are a serious Christian school you might be witnessed to, how do you feel about that?

    I don't mind Christians at all. I don't mind anyone of any faith. Everyone has a right to believe in anything that they want to believe in, but yeah if they were to start pushing their agenda on me then I would start getting annoyed.

    Different people have different ideas about what is sharing, and what is pushing. And the Bethany type church is likely to be forthright and bold about trying to convert non believers. I am not trying to scare you off, but they might see you as a target / project to convert, and you would have to work on a daily basis with people who have saving your soul as a priority. HTMS.

    Thanks Liz & Maruschke. Shall keep looking. Who knew work placement within a school office would be so damn hard. Have had a few public schools not even bother ringing me back, even if it is just to say no
