A Message from the Principal
I would like to express my gratitude and deep appreciation for the parents at Covenant. It is a privilege to be working in partnership with you, both when your children are learning onsite, and when they are learning at home with you.
I hope you find the resources provided here helpful. Please be assured that the school does not expect learning at home to replicate the classroom environment. However, the staff team have been working hard over the past weeks to provide well for students during this period, and will continue to do so. We are here to help our students and support our parents however we can.
You will note that while the majority of instructions will be communicated online (via Canvas), not all learning will be done on a device. This is intentional. We are as keen as you are to allow students to have a break away from screens throughout the day.
We also recognise that not all students have access to an individual device, so we will provide learning materials for both online learning and the use of more traditional methods (pen and paper, textbooks, workbooks, texts and so on).
Learning at home
For many students, remote learning is a wonderful opportunity for autonomous, self-directed learning. Many children thrive in these circumstances, enjoying the occasion to craft their own learning and work at an individual pace.
Parents also have the opportunity to engage more deeply in their child’s learning, strengthening relationships within the family unit and the ongoing partnership between home and school. There will also be opportunities for ongoing engagement with teaching staff during this time.
I would encourage our students to show dedication to their work and faithfulness in their study efforts. I would also point you to the many school and other services available to support you while you learn in this season.
Mrs Melissa Brown
Principal
