WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS

T3wk1_1.jpg

The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘COME HOLY SPIRIT’

This term at Mother Teresa School we will use the theme that:  We are called to Innovate.

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:14

At Mother Teresa School the value we will be focusing on is Sustainability, this means:

  1. Reduce, reuse, recycle: Practice the 3 Rs to minimise waste and conserve resources.
  2. Choose sustainable products: Opt for items made from recycled, biodegradable or sustainably sourced materials. Look out for ‘greenwashing’ — where brands claim to be eco-friendly but don’t actually deliver meaningful impact.
  3. Conserve energy and water: Turn off lights and appliances when not in use, and fix leaks to prevent water waste. Insulate ceilings and double glaze windows to reduce heating requirements in winter.
  4. Support local and organic: Buy from local farmers and choose organic products when possible to reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture.
  5. Pick up plastic and other rubbish: Actively participate in cleaning the environment, with particular attention to removing plastics that could be consumed by birds or fish.

RECONCILIATION 2024

Please pray for our Year 3 teachers and students who are currently preparing for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

This weekend the students are invited to bring their forgiveness hearts along to share with the congregation as they prepare to make their First Reconciliation. Don’t forget to bring an item for the Food Pantry and collect your jigsaw puzzle piece.

THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

The students were amazing and so reverent. They sang beautifully and what a good job our readers did! Thank you to all those parents and friends who came along and supported the celebration of the Assumption. It was wonderful to have you all there.

PRAYER FOCUS

Thank you to Mrs Slaven, Mrs Thomas and some of our Year 6 leaders, along with the students in Kinder Crimson for presenting a fabulous Prayer Focus on Sustainability. The students did an amazing job at presenting what sustainability looks like at MTS and told us the importance of not wasting food. They shared a terrific song called ‘Watermelon’. Thank you to all those parents who came along to support the students.

Something to Think About

Spend a moment thinking about the wonderful gifts God has given you. What would you most like to thank God for today?

The Story

In today’s reading, St Paul is telling the people to be sensible and use every moment of their lives to do good things. He encourages them to come together to sing songs of praise to God and to thank God for everything with all their heart.
