Sport

At Covenant Christian School, it is our desire to provide every student with an opportunity to participate in a wide range of sports and physical activity.

As well as supporting students in exploring, developing and using their God-given gifts and abilities, we hope to nurture a lifelong love of sport, and an appreciation of the benefits it offers.

Covenant has a range of sports facilities to enable students to enjoy physical activity in a safe and supportive environment. From large grassed areas, playing fields and hard courts, to a fully sprung gymnasium floor, children of all ages and stages are well catered for. 

Carnivals

Carnivals provide a wonderful opportunity for participation and competition, whilst promoting good sportsmanship and house spirit.

Swimming and Athletics Carnivals are held separately for Junior and Secondary School. The Cross Country Carnival is a combined event for the entire school.

Whenever our students participate in sport, we encourage them to do it all in a way that honours and glorifies God. Physical education is part of the curriculum, and while students develop their skills and build fitness, they also learn valuable lessons about participation, commitment, responsibility and teamwork.

Sporting activities at Covenant aim to help students excel in their chosen sport. 

Higher Level Competition

Covenant is a member of the Christian Schools Sports Association (CSSA), a state-based association that encompasses over 80 schools. Students may have the opportunity to represent Covenant at the CSSA Zone and possibly State level for swimming, cross country and athletic events. 

Covenant also regularly enters individuals and teams in CSSA Gala Days and competitions for other sports, including rugby, gymnastics, tennis, soccer, hockey, netball, cricket and triathlon. 

Covenant is also a member of Combined Independent Schools (CIS). This organisation allows students to be selected in State and National sporting teams. Students who achieve high placings at a CSSA State Carnival go on to compete at CIS level. Covenant students are also able to trial for select CIS teams directly.
