On Monday, we had a wonderful evening celebrating the Class of 2025 for the final time. I’ve had the privilege of watching these young men and women grow, not just academically, but in character, leadership and faith. Their journey through Covenant has been marked by moments of challenge and triumph, from classrooms to mission trips, and through it all, God has been at work.
As I reflected during their final assembly, I drew wisdom from Ecclesiastes, reminding students and families that true fulfilment comes from understanding life’s purpose beyond material pursuits. The world tells us that success, possessions, and recognition will satisfy, but Scripture teaches us that lasting joy comes only from a life centred on Christ. My prayer for our graduates is that they seek fulfilment not in worldly achievements, but in serving God and others.
To our Year 12s: as you step into new chapters, may you find your contentment in Him alone. May your plans be guided by His wisdom, and may your lives shine as testimonies of His grace. We bless you and your families as you go forward, confident that the God who began a good work in you will carry it to completion.
