Our Values
Christ Centredness ... a distinctive choice
At Covenant College, we believe the Bible is clear in its directive to parents about raising children – it is the parents' responsibility to educate their children, instructing them according to God’s Word.
Our College has been established by parents with these convictions and everything we do today is guided by this mandate. We want to honour Christ in all we do and our desire to achieve excellence in education is driven by this.
Partnership ... working together
Our vision for education at the College is based on the belief that we are in PARTNERSHIP with parents. Parents are connected at every level:
- parents oversee the College as Board members;
- parents have direct access to all staff and the College Principal;
- parents are actively involved and valued.
Discipleship … belonging
The environment we cultivate at Covenant College is our defining characteristic – our Christian ethos. All our staff support this Christian ethos. The vast majority of families are Christian, our curriculum is grounded in Biblical truth, devotions are daily and we seek to honour the Lord in all we do. We value relationships. We believe that this ethos is necessary in order to nurture a passion for learning in each of our students – learning within the context of acceptance and sense of belonging is vital.
Community … connecting
Our community is enriched by diversity. We come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and church denominations. Families get to know each other, relationships develop, life-long friendships are formed.
