Leadership through service

At Covenant we believe that each student has been “created in Christ Jesus to do good works” (Ephesians 2:10). As God’s handiwork we have each been gifted with unique abilities and talents which are to be used to serve others for the glory of God. For the Christian student, leadership is an opportunity for service (Matthew 20:26-28). As we try to imitate the ultimate servant King, Christ Jesus, we are seeking to grow servant leaders who are faithful, encouraging, peacemaking, honest, humble, kind and show integrity.

For students at Covenant, there are many opportunities for servant leadership both at school and in the wider community. These opportunities allow our students to use and develop their leadership gifts, engage positively within our school environment, and to grow and show increasing responsibility. Our students will take these skills and passions into their chosen vocation, using them to serve the Lord as God’s chosen people.

Our Captains and Vice Captains are our Prep to Year 12 school leaders. They play a significant role in our school, teaching the Bible to both their peers and younger students. They act as representatives of the school and represent their peers on the Student Leadership Council.

We provide age-appropriate opportunities for leadership, starting with our Year 2 students leading Infants assemblies and finishing in Year 12 with a variety of leadership positions.

Servant leadership opportunities include:

• School Captains (Year 12)

• House Captains (Year 6 and Year 12)

• Student Leadership Council (Years 8 to 12)

• Sound and Lighting team (Years 6 to 12)

• Mustard

• Worship band (Year 6 and Year 12)

• Year 11 Community Service

• Kids for Christ (Year 6 and Year 11)

• Home Class

• Bus Monitors

• Library Monitors

• Year 6 buddies to Kindergarten

• Student Representative Council (Years 3 to 6)

Career guidance & alumni

Throughout their time at Covenant, students are equipped to live for God’s glory. During the later years in Secondary School, attention is given to life after school and options that exist for them. Covenant’s careers guidance involves helping students make informed decisions based on careers information, self-knowledge and the opportunities available. Students are kept up to date with the latest information on careers and further study opportunities. Our Careers Adviser liaises with parents, teachers, employers, community agencies and training providers to facilitate the best possible solution for each individual student at Covenant.

When you enrol your child at Covenant, you join a Christian community that has been built-up over 40 years by passionate parents who love Christ and love their children. The essence of this community remains unchanged and so students, staff and families who have left our school stay connected as part of the Covie Alumni, to continue what was started in 1978. Being part of a community which aims to see everything restored under the Lordship of Jesus Christ is life-changing and worth staying connected to for generations to come.
