New Infant playground equipment is being installed over the July holiday break (please pray for good weather!). The playground equipment has been designed to develop a child’s core strength, balance and stability while still having fun. In addition to the playground equipment, a new fully weatherproof shade structure will be installed during Term 3 allowing students to play outside regardless of wet weather.  This will greatly improve the access to the play equipment for students all year round. 

There is nothing like a live performance to prepare an actor for the HSC stage. The audience enjoyed two group compositions which were very engaging and included many 'laugh out loud' moments!  A particular thank you to Bianca R for her understudy role in 'Put On A Happy Face'. 

In addition, there were four amazing monologues and a Critical Analysis 'Director's Folio'. After the performances, there was a real 'buzz' and hearty thanks to Heather Pitt, our fabulous Drama teacher. 

The Evening of Dance was held last night (Thursday 30 June). It was a wonderful culmination of many months of choreography and rehearsals by our talented dancers at Covenant. 

Our Year 9 to 12 Dance Elective students showcased class work and their own compositions, including the Year 12 Major Works. We were also treated to performances from our Secondary Eisteddfod Troupes and Junior School Musical Troupe. 

Many thanks to our parents for your support of this event and to our dance teachers: Hannah Kelly, Hayley Jacobs and Kellie Conolly for your tireless efforts in preparing for this evening. 

The Year 6 Picture Book Launch is a culmination of a Semester long project. Under the guidance of our Teacher Librarian, Robyn Watson, Year 6 have each written an engaging story and illustrated their book accordingly. 

Parents were invited to view the books and request autographs! at the launch earlier this week. 

Thank you to everyone who prayerfully donated to the school's Bursary Fund.  We are so grateful for your partnership with us.  We pray that your generous gift makes an eternal difference for the 90 students and their families who we financially support to make Christian education possible.

A One Act comedy in the style of a traditional British melodrama. 

Penelope Kerslake has left her best school chums at boarding school and returned home to tell her beloved father, The Major, of her impending marriage to Gilroy Gladheart. Unfortunately, he has already promised her hand to another, the villainous Dirk Dastardly. How can Penelope escape this fate worse than death, be reunited with her one true love, foil the villain, and save the day? 

Featuring all of the traditional stock characters, the moustache twirling villain and his idiotic side kicks, the bumbling police department, the stupid handsome hero and his long-suffering manservant and the Damsels in distress, who end up 'kicking butt'.
