It comes as the religious discrimination bill passed in the early hours of Thursday morning by 90-6 following a mammoth debate in the House of Representatives which included objections from Liberal moderates and independent MPs as they sought amendments.
Catholic Education Sandhurst has expressed its concern over the bill saying its current form needed to include protections for transgender and gender diverse children.
