Role description

At Covenant, we see education not merely as information, but as formation. Our aim is to nurture wisdom and virtue in students, guiding them to love what is true, good, and beautiful. Through the richness of Classical Christian Education, we seek to shape young hearts and minds to see all of life in the light of Christ.

We invite applications from teachers who desire to view their classroom as both a place of learning and discipleship.

The successful applicant will:

  • Be eligible to work in Australia.
  • Be a committed Christian who is a member of, and actively involved in, a local Protestant Church.
  • Be enthusiastic about being involved in curriculum development that seeks to integrate a classical and Christ-centred approach
  • Be part of a staff team that seeks to honour God in all that it does.
  • Have a commitment to educational excellence.
  • Contribute to the life of the School community.
  • Be a good model of personal dress, manner, language, humility and humour.
  • Obtain and/or maintain Teacher Registration with the ACT Teacher Quality Institute (TQI).
  • Obtain and/or maintain the ACT Working With Vulnerable People card.

If your heart is to see children shaped by the truth of God’s Word and the beauty of His creation through a Classical Christian framework, we would love to hear from you.

To apply please complete the Teacher application form attached and submit this along with your CV and supporting documentation to principal@covenant.act.edu.au
