Why are we running a mission trip to Japan? The desire to run a mission trip to Japan initially came out of the Japan Service Tour in 2023. Our students attended a church service in Osaka where they were greeted so warmly by the Japanese people who had never seen so many teenage ºì½ãͼ¿âs. The simple act of attending their church service brought such joy to these people that it occurred to us, perhaps we can do more. From there it grew into an awareness of the need for the gospel to reach…

Covenant students (and Mr Smithies!) have been going to the indigenous shire of Yarrabah since 2006. Alex, one of our Year 11 students who went there earlier this year, sat down with Deputy Principal, Tim Smithies, and asked him about the value of the Yarrabah trip for our students and how God has been at work.

What a blessing it is to start each day in God’s word. As teachers at Covenant, it is so encouraging to meet together every morning for devotions and prayer. It is an opportunity to keep reflecting on how great God is and how dependant we are on His wisdom and guidance for our lives. During the July holidays, several of our staff attended the International Transforming Education Conference 2024 (ITEC) in Perth. It was such an enriching experience – the opportunity to worship together with over…

This is a powerful statement of discipleship. As Jesus’ people we are following the Lord Christ. But we are also following the example of pastors, parents and many others who are themselves following the example of Christ. We each follow the examples we set one another. We are teaching each other what it looks like to be Jesus people, how to live as Christ calls us to live. As disciples of Jesus we are also setting the example for others to follow. This pattern of both following and leading is…

We all want the best for our students. We want them to experience success in their learning. We want them to feel valued and supported at all times.

This mindset shapes our interactions with our students and influences the way we teach them. We recognise that success will look different for every…
