WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS

The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘Do small Things with Great Love’ and the Bible reference that supports our theme is Ephesians 2:1, in which St Paul says:

“We are God’s work of art,

Created in Christ Jesus to live the good life

As from the beginning he had meant us to live it.”

At Mother Teresa we will share our gifts and talents with each other throughout the year. The values we will be focussing on this term are:    

Compassion, Courtesy, Courage, Calmness, Consideration, Inclusion & Unity.

WELCOME TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR

We do hope that all members of our school community have returned happy and eager to resume old friendships and be introduced to new ones.

Have you ever wondered about how gifted you are? Do you look at others and admire all the things they know and are able to do and achieve?

Do you find yourself wishing you were better at certain things and more gifted than others?

The Scripture for our whole school focus this term for you is a gentle reminder that you are more gifted than you realise. You have within you the greatest gift of all, and with it the chance to be a most outstanding person. You have the gift of love, and you can love in a unique way, in a way that no-one else can love.

Paul speaks of the great gifts of faith and grace that God has given us.

We need to think about what goodness God has given us. Accurately goodness is godliness. Goodness can often be seen in our actions, but our heart also has to be pure.

The goodness of Christ is to be demonstrated in our lives every day. We know that God loves each one of us. You are uniquely special to God.

The important thing is recognising that our talents, skills, and abilities don’t do any good if we keeping them for ourselves. But if we treat them as a gift we should be giving to others, we’ll find new ways to connect with others and help them in their life. And that’s the kind of gift that’s better to give than receive.

Do you agree that gifts should be shared? Do you know what your gifts are? Have you figured out a way to share them with others?

It's my belief that God gives us all gifts, special abilities that we have the privilege of developing to help us serve Him and humanity.

Peace and Best Wishes.
