WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS The Whole school focus theme for this year is:

‘We Are Bee-Attitude Keepers”

Our value for next week is: RESILIENCE

At Mother Teresa School we will show resilience when we:

• Have a positive self-image
• Respond flexibly to situations
• Manage emotions
• Balance interaction and reflection

Reconciliation & First Eucharist

Please pray for our Year 3 teachers and students who are currently preparing for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Hopefully you will be able to bring your ‘Forgiving Hearts’ to Mass the following weekend and give them to the teachers to create a display in the foyer of the Church. Please note Reconciliation will be moved to the 24, 25, & 26 August with First Eucharist still going ahead on the Friday 3 September.

St Teresa of Calcutta

School Feast Day 26^th August

Fun filled day full of activities

Liturgy @ 9:15am hosted by 6 Ink & 6 Charcoal

Sausage sizzle lunch.

12:00-1:20 Mini Mission Fete

Students will be required to purchase a $5 golden ticket, which gives them 1 sausage sandwich and 5 entries into activities. If your child requires more sausages or entry into extra, activities they will be required to purchase a second ‘Golden Ticket’ the more tickets the more chances to win the lucky ‘Golden Ticket’ draw prize.

We are hoping Simon Carol from Global School Partners will be able to talk to the students and explain how the money raised will be used when it goes to Excellence Academy in Kenya.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary 15 August 2021 - Year B 

 “The Almighty has done great things for me;
the Lord has lifted up the lowly.”

Something to Think About

Today is a special day in the Church’s calendar. It is the day we remember the end of Mary’s life when she was taken up into heaven, body and soul. Like Mary, we hope and pray that one day we too will be with Jesus in heaven.

The Story

The gospel story remembers a special event in Mary’s life when she visited her cousin Elizabeth.

Both women were expecting babies. When Mary greeted Elizabeth, the baby in Elizabeth leapt for joy! Elizabeth recognises that Mary is the mother of the Lord and celebrates Mary’s faith in God’s promise.

Weekend Mass Times (via Zoom)

We invite you get dressed in your Sunday best and attend Mass via Zoom on Sunday 15 August 2021 at 9:30am to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Peace and best wishes
