Heidi Stead speaks to the 'experts' to find out how the newly completed Junior Sports Field is going!
There are many opportunities for servant leadership at Covenant that allow our students to use and develop their leadership gifts, engaging positively within our school environment, and to grow and show increasing responsibility.
In Junior School, students from Years 1 to 6 have the opportunity to represent their class on the Student Representative Council (SRC). This involves meeting with Heidi Stead, Head of Junior School, to vote on decisions including speech topics, fundraising and mufti day themes, as well as carrying out various class errands. Our senior SRC students may also present suggestions to their teachers, such as proposing ideas for their classroom environment.
Melissa Brown and Heidi Stead, along with our Secondary School Captains and Vice Captains, presented those students selected with their badges during Friday's assemblies.
We'd like to congratulate the following students on their selection into the 2024 Junior School SRC. We look forward to seeing you use your gifts for God's glory as you serve your fellow students this year.
