Principal's Message Term 1 Week 6 2024
Dear Parents
As a Catholic learning community,
all at Mother Teresa School are called
to care, to dream, to innovate, to inspire!
Leadership Assembly
The Year 6 Leadership Assembly today acknowledged the important role that student leadership plays each year at Mother Teresa School. With this responsibility comes an expectation to set an example that permeates throughout the school.
Our four house groups will rotate roles and responsibilities throughout the year, including School Support, Media Support, Sport Support and Social Justice.
It was St Mary MacKillop that was quoted as saying "Never see a need without doing something about it". It is this selflessness, combined with stewardship, that will drive our leaders to do great things in 2024.
Michelle Mitchell Visit
This week parents from Years 4-6 and students in Year 5 had the pleasure of listening to presentations from Michelle Mitchell. Michelle is an award-winning speaker, and bestselling parenting author. She shared valuable information with our parents on the best ways to talk to their children about changes associated with puberty as well as many other pieces of grounded, research-based advice. The Year 5 students were engaged with her special way of delivering very important information about changes they will experience as they move through puberty.
If you would like further information about Michelle or to have a look at any of her books please visit: https://michellemitchell.org/
