Congratulations to Will R in Year 11, who represented Gymnastics NSW at the Border Challenge Trial held in Caloundra Indoor Stadium, Queensland.
The NSW team came second in the team event. In addition, Will placed fifth in each of these individual events: rings, vault, floor and parallel bars.
This is a huge achievement, especially to compete at such a high level, well done Will!
In June I wrote to ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with Covenant families through our Bursary program for 2022.
As you would be aware, the Bursary Program seeks to support families in our community who are facing financial hardship.
This year we have raised over $56,000 in support of our Covenant families in need (an increase of over 20% on 2021), and the number of families prayerfully giving has also increased substantially.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been involved through giving and praying!
One of the many families who have been blessed by the Bursary Program share their words of thanks: “We just thank you so so much for this huge offer of generosity and love!”
Thank you, once again, for your prayerful and ongoing partnership.

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'.
Performed by 20 melodramatic students from Years 8 to 10.
Friday 5 August for two shows – 3.30pm and 6.30pm in the School Hall.
Tickets will be on sale 8.00am Monday 27 June. Adults $10; concession free.

Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It partners with local churches in developing nations to reach out to children by providing gift-filled shoeboxes and bringing the Good news of Jesus Christ. After receiving shoebox gifts, many children are also invited back to participate in The Greatest Journey – an evangelism and discipleship program.
Covenant Christian School has been involved in OCC for many years. Here’s how you can be involved:
4. Pray for the child who will receive your shoebox gift. Include a personal note of encouragement and a photo.
5. Pay $10 for postage.
6. Return shoebox to school by the end of Term 3. Mark your name off the sign-up sheet.
Any further questions, please refer to the OCC website or contact Mrs Robyn Watson in the Junior School Library.
