Dear Parents,

It has been lovely to be back connecting with the children, staff, and parents. I cannot believe we only have two weeks until the end of term. Please continue to keep Maryanne Hawes and her family in your prayers as they gather on Monday in Braidwood to celebrate the life of her mother Cathy Ffrench. Anyone wishing to leave a card for the family can do so at the office, to be passed on to the family. We have a group of nine staff attending the funeral to represent the Mother Teresas School Community.

Staffing News

Next week we welcome back Erin O'Leary who has been recovering from treatment. We all look forward to her return, especially the children. Thank you to Miss Katrina Livanes for covering the class for the last few weeks. Katrina will continue to do relief at Mother Teresa into Term 4.

Mrs Amy Slaven will be taking up her position as Director of our ELC from Tuesday 24 September (Week 10). We are finalising arrangements for our new Kinder teacher to commence at the beginning of Term 4. Next week Amy Slaven will be attending a conference for ELC Directors from Tuesday to Friday in Brisbane. On Tuesdays to Thursdays in Weeks 9 and 10 Mrs Kim Harris will be covering the class.

Rostrum Grand Final

Good luck to Xavier Johnson (6 Onyx) who will represent Mother Teresa School next Monday night at the ACT Rostrum Grand Final. This is a prestigious honour and a great achievement to get to this level of the competition.

Bike Riding Years 4-6

Just a reminder for all those students in Years 4-6 who signed up for bike riding to bring their bikes and helmets every Friday. Students will ride to a local park where they will have some supervised playtime before riding back to school. This is a great way to stay active and enjoy the spring weather however we need more students participating to keep the program running.

ELC Art Show

Congratulations to our ELC staff and amazing ELC artists. It was a great evening on Thursday night with the children displaying their amazing artistic talent. Thank you for your generous donations.
