Parent participation ranges from being involved in day-to-day activities to being part of the School Association. Our Board consists of Association members who lead the school as a parent body and ensure that the original vision of the founding parents is upheld.

Covenant is intentional about involving parents in the life of the school and providing ways for parents to feel part of our school community. For example:  

• The Parent Involvement Program - Covenant encourages parents to be involved in the life of the school community. Each family with students from Kindergarten to Year 12 pays a Maintenance Levy that is waived when parents complete 24 hours of volunteer work in a year. 
• Volunteering at school - there are many ways which you can volunteer at the school to get involved with the community.
• The Covenant Prayer Group - A faithful group of parents and friends meet each week to pray for the school and community - click here for more information. 
• The school community provides extra support to families in times of need.
• Various initiatives are in place to build community among parents such as Café Covie, the Class Parent model, Community Morning Teas, Working Bees, and community events such as Grandparents’ Day, Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and many more.
• Communication between the school, staff and families is encouraged. Parents are also invited to attend the various assemblies held each week.
• Ultimately, a culture of servanthood and partnership is embraced amongst staff and parents.
