At Covenant, we understand that starting school is a big step for all children and their families. When children start in Infants (Kindergarten to Year 2), they will be entering a happy, secure and nurturing environment where passionate teachers partner with parents to make the transition from home to school an easy one.
In Infants, our highly experienced teachers create a happy, caring and stimulating environment for our 5 to 8 year-olds to begin their schooling journey. Our students are taught the curriculum from a distinctly biblical worldview, reinforcing what children are already learning at home and church.
Inside our purpose-built air-conditioned classrooms, dedicated Christian teachers foster a love of learning by creating a calm, Christ-centred and happy classroom where children are valued, nurtured and cared for.
“The Covenant environment is nurturing and caring. It is not an institution. It has the feel of a community. ”
— HAILEY - Parent
The Infants years are where the foundations for future learning are established. At Covenant, these foundational elements include Christian faith as an integral part of what is taught. Students begin our ‘Knowing God’ subject from Kindergarten where they focus on God as revealed in the Bible. Specialist teachers provide instruction in Music, Sport, Library and Visual Arts. After School Care is provided each day until 6.00pm.
With only two classes per grade, friends are easy to make and simple to find in our dedicated Infants playground areas. Climbing equipment, large sandpits, handball courts, and areas to run and play games such as soccer, encourage our children to be active.
A window into life in Infants is the Friday morning assembly. Students and staff sing Christian songs, learn about Jesus, pray, perform items and celebrate achievements. Students assist in leading the assembly building confidence and leadership skills. Preschool children start attending this assembly in Term 4 to begin the transition process into Kindergarten. Parents are warmly welcomed.
