Covenant Christian School is a distinctly and explicitly Christian Prep to Year 12 co-educational day school with over 900 students, located in Belrose on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Working in partnership with parents, our passionate and highly qualified teaching staff deliver the curriculum from the understanding that all of life must be centred on God and his plan to restore all things under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

With a focus on the nurture and discipleship of our students, Covenant seeks to meet the individual learning needs of each student and support their well-being and development from an academic, social, emotional and spiritual perspective.

Vision: To faithfully serve in God’s plan to restore all things under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Mission: To assist parents in the nurture of their children, by providing a Christ-centred, biblically grounded, culturally engaging and academically rigorous education to equip the children to live for God’s glory.

ROLE STATEMENT

The Class Teacher is responsible for implementing the vision and mission of the school in the context of the classroom and other areas of the school in which they work. Teachers are to show godly leadership to the children, expressing the outworking of their faith not only in the way they relate to students, but with all the interactions they have in their capacity as classroom teacher especially with staff and parents.

A classroom teacher should strive to understand the curriculum they teach and to communicate the content from a Christian perspective in an age appropriate manner. It is expected that a teacher will seek out and take up opportunities to develop their teaching practice.

The teacher is also expected to be involved in the wider life of the school whilst maintaining a proper work/life balance.
