Primary School

“All in all you’re just another brick in the wall” ?

You’ll be glad to know that this is not what we believe at Covenant! Your child is not just another “brick in the wall”. With lower teacher to student ratios, we want to know each child individually. We don’t want them to get lost in the crowd.

If your child is struggling with their learning in any way and needs extra support in the classroom, we aim to find out sooner rather than later. With smaller numbers per class, your child will get more dedicated time with their teacher to ensure they understand their work.

We take the time to communicate regularly with parents via school diaries and personal emails, keeping our ‘finger on the pulse’ of how your child is progressing.

What we teach in the Primary level is a strong foundation to teaching at the Secondary level. We believe teachers are employed to instruct and impart knowledge, give direction and provide a reason / purpose for all that is being taught – they are not just facilitators. The primary goal of teaching is centred around our desire to see students progressively become self learners as they advance in age.

With the ongoing development of the Australian Curriculum (AC) across all grade levels in Australia, the school continues to update the curriculum to reflect the requirements of the AC. For further information, please refer to the ACARA website: http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/
