The New Learning Hub unveiled
Praise God! Our new Learning Hub was officially unveiled last week by our Founders, a host of parents, Federal and Local Members, Dr Sophie Scamps MP and Matt Cross MP, along with representatives from Australian Association of Schools and Christian Education National. This dynamic, multipurpose, flexible learning space has been designed to enrich teaching and learning, Co-Curricular opportunities, and student and staff wellbeing, all for God's glory.
The building is beautiful. It’s also very functional… What is the significance to Covenant of this building? It is here as an enabler of Christian education.Dr John Collier, Interim Principal
The new facility continues the legacy of the original building, which faithfully supported the school community for more than 30 years. As the school has grown, the Learning Hub has been created to enhance the vibrant educational environment and support the school’s expanding programs.
The Board is thrilled about the new Learning Hub. This building will lay a foundation for the continued growth of a Christ-centred, academically rigorous education here at Covenant.Bel Ritchie, Chair of the Covenant Christian School Board
Key features of the Learning Hub include:
- A modern library for Years 5 to 12
- Multipurpose learning areas and breakout spaces
- Dedicated senior study areas to support higher-order thinking, silent study and collaborative learning
- Central location where all staff can meet for staff meetings, break times, and daily devotions
- Staff faculty offices, counselling rooms, conference room, lunchroom & outdoor seating
Andrew Lowry, Business Manager of Covenant Christian School has been involved in this project from start to completion. His deep hope was for "a place where Christian education flourishes, and where students can explore, be curious and think critically. This new building is a gift from God, and we give thanks for his provision and for the resources entrusted to us at Covenant.”
This new building stands because of the hard work and sacrifice of not only those who worked on it today, but for those who've worked on this school for generations… but even more so [it stands] because of God’s faithfulness.”Ben Peletier, local Minister and Parent
The completion of the Learning Hub marks an exciting milestone for Covenant Christian School as it continues to provide high-quality Christian education, equipping students with rich learning opportunities they need to flourish now and into the future.
