Covenant opened in 1991. As of 2023, it had a roll of around 283 students, and a college feeder program with Trinity Christian School for pupils in years 11 and 12. The school aims to provide quality Christ-centered education to students from Protestant denominations.

In 2013 the school entered into a new phase of its development as it opened its doors to non-Christian students as well as Christian students.

From 2014, the school changed its name to Covenant Christian School, which more clearly reflects its role as a provider of Primary and Secondary education.

There are around 8 classrooms, a science lab, a library, preschool, and a COLA ( Covered Outdoor Learning Center ) as of 2023.
