Teacher Meet and Greet - Year 1 to Year 6

Next Tuesday February 13 our parents from Years 1 to 6  are invited to meet their child's teacher from 8am to 8:40am in classrooms. As communicated through compass, please note that this is not the forum to discuss your child's academic development at this early stage of the school year. Students will be supervised on the fake grass lineup area from 7:55am.

Welcome Picnic

This Sunday February 11th all families are invited to a community picnic at Mother Teresa School to welcome in the new school year. The event run by our amazing community council, will be held on our school oval from 9:30am to 11:30am. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy some fun games and activities. Each student who attends will also receive a token for their house!

Daily school attendance is essential unless a child is not well. It is also critical that children are at school by 8.45am. Due to the number of children arriving late the teacher will now be marking rolls at 8.55 each day. If a child is not in class by 8.55am they will be recorded as not present and must be checked in at the office. Children will be issued with

• a yellow pass if they arrive via the office indicating they are on time or
• a blue ticket indicating they arrived after 8.55am and have been formally signed in. 

Please make every effort to get your child to school on time. 

This year marks the beginning of the implementation of the new Community Council Guidelines. Parents are invited to our first meeting to be held on Tuesday 20 February commencing at 6.00pm - 7.30pm 

Agenda items for discussion 

• Community Council Guidelines
• School Car Park
• Hall Refurbishment Project 
• Social and Fundraising Activities - offered to coordinate events
• School Grounds and Sustainability

Archbishop Decision to Incorporate Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Canberra & Goulburn

Today an announcement has been made that there will be a new direction in governance for Catholic Education within the Archdiocese.

A link to the announcement is below for your information:

 https://cgcatholic.org.au/about/our-archbishop/addresses-and-statements/new-era-in-governance-of-ce/

It is intended that very little will change within schools as a result of this governance change. Further updates will be provided as the initiative progresses.

Our current school focus is on being Courteous.
