Our mission at Covenant is to assist parents in the nurture of their children. Our fees reflect this mission as we seek to partner with families in providing quality Christian education. With this in mind, we are committed to keeping fees as affordable as possible.
Covenant offers generous family discounts. As part of our commitment to larger families we offer free tuition for the fourth child onwards (based on siblings currently enrolled at Covenant).
Additional financial support is available via the Bursary program. See below for more information and how to apply for clergy/minister discounts and bursaries.
Textbooks are loaned or supplied to students from Kindergarten to Year 12 in most subjects. Covenant has a mix of supplied and BYOD (bring your own device) technology depending on the year group for each child.
Bursary Program and Ministers' Fee Relief

The Bursary Program
The Covenant bursary program provides confidential fee relief to families (including ministry families) who would otherwise be unable to afford Christian education at Covenant.
A bursary is an agreed percentage discount to school fees. A limited number of bursaries are available to students from Kindergarten to Year 12. This is awarded on the basis of demonstrated financial merit and/or need. The fund is administered by the Covenant Christian School Board who will determine the value, number and duration of each bursary on an annual basis.
Ministers' Fee Relief
Covenant offers a fee discount to ministry families to support the valuable Kingdom work undertaken by those in church ministry roles. For families in paid ministry work, school fees may be out of reach and so Covenant seeks to support ministry families who are dedicating their lives to furthering the gospel in the community.
Covenant Christian School offers a 50% reduction of tuition fees to ministry families where a parent holds a relevant theological qualification and is substantially engaged in a paid ministry role at a Christian church or recognised Christian organisation.
Scholarships
Covenant seeks to keep school fees as low as possible with generous sibling discounts. We believe all children are valuable because of their creator, not their gifts and abilities, and for this reason, Covenant Christian School does not offer academic, music or sporting scholarships. Families who need assistance to be able to afford school fees can apply for a bursary.
