At Covenant Christian School, the Hospitality syllabus provides opportunities for students to: develop social and environmental responsibility in the hospitality industry by seeing God as the creator and provider of all resources; develop a godly understanding of service which is the underlying attribute of the hospitality worker; develop godly attitudes in the way they treat other people within the classroom and the wider community.
