Principal's Message Term 1 Week 10 - 2023
Dear Parents
As a Catholic learning community,
all at Mother Teresa School are called
to care, to dream, to innovate, to inspire!
Term 2 Commences on Wednesday 26 April 2023
It is very hard to believe Term 1 is over. It has been a busy term as life returns to normal with school events happening and parents being actively involved. It was very special to be able to gather as a school to reflect on the Easter events, beautifully represented by a group of Year 6 students.
Staffing News
Today we farewelled our beautiful Sarah Campbell who is taking up a teaching position in one of our local schools. Sarah has been a valued staff member who has held a range of positions during her years at MTS - Art Teacher, Year 1 and Kindergarten.
Next term we welcome Mrs Amy Slaven, our new teacher for Kinder Crimson. Amy will commence on Monday 1 May (Week 2) as she has to be released from the school where she is currently working. Amy comes to MTS with 20 years of experience with 10 years teaching in Kindergarten.
End of Term House Celebration
It was a very close competition between the house groups as they worked to receive tokens towards the end of term special surprise for following our MTS ways. Thanks to Mr Craig Hart for the coordination of the BBQ and Kids Biz for allowing us to use one of their large jumping castles.
Anzac Day Assembly
Our annual Anzac Day Assembly will be held on Friday 28 April at 1pm in the hall. Due to space restrictions we will only be inviting parents of our Defence families. We look forward to seeing you next term for this special occasion.
No Canteen Week 1
There will be no canteen facilities available in Week 1.
Urgent - Community Council - Position Vacant Treasurer
The Mother Teresa School Community Council is urgently looking for a parent volunteer to manage the day to day financial activities of the Community Council accounts. This includes receipting money from fundraising activities including the uniform shop, parent community events and then arranging payments as required. A monthly Income and Expenditure report must be prepared for Council meetings and end of year documentation prepared for Catholic Education in December.
Book keeping or accounting skills are required. A detailed handover will be arranged as our current Treasurer no longer has a child in the school.
If interested or for more information please email carmel.maguire@cg.catholic.edu.au as soon as possible.
School fees
Our car park is flowing beautifully of an afternoon now that people are observing our new arrangement and following a one-way flow of traffic.
With gates opening at 8.15 I strongly suggest that the blacktop be used for the morning drop-off and avoid the strip outside the preschool. We need to now get the morning traffic moving faster to avoid the backlog at our school entry.
