Dear Parents
As a Catholic learning community,
all at Mother Teresa School are called
to care, to dream, to innovate, to inspire!
Parent Annual Satisfaction Survey- Tell Them From Me
Once again students, teachers and parents will be invited to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an essential part of our whole school evaluation and planning process.
We would like to invite you to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning survey. As we value the role of parents and carers within our school community, we would greatly appreciate your feedback. The information you provide will be used to maintain our commitment to working together in partnership to further improve student learning and well-being at Mother Teresa School.
The survey was provided to parents via a Compass News Feed on Tuesday. The survey will close on Friday 9 June.
Are You Leaving MTS
We are receiving lots of enquiries for enrolment in all grades across the school. If you are aware of a possible move, please advise as soon as possible. This will help with our planning for Semester two 2023 and beyond.
Enrolment Time
The Catholic Schools official enrolment period has concluded however it is not too late to submit an application. All families with siblings attending our ELC need to also enrol to secure a place.
Please encourage friends and family to complete the enrolment form, available on our website.
Please spread the word!
ELC refurbishment and car park arrangements
With the plans of the ELC refurbishment approved it is expected that construction will commence soon (We are still waiting). Due to delays with several building approvals required the commencement date has been pushed back. Once the project commences the access driveway in front of the ELC will be blocked off. This will mean that ELC parents will need to park in the car park and school afternoon pick-up for everyone will be at the back of the school near the covered walkway.

WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS
The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘Walking Together’.
Our value for the next two weeks: ‘FAIRNESS’ and we can do this:
‘The Mother Teresa School Way’
- Everyone is treated equally
- No one is left out
- Follow rules in: sport, games, activities & in the community
- Communicate with honesty
- Are trustworthy
PRAYER FOCUS
Thank you to Mrs Pye, Mrs Bruce, and Year 1 Topaz and Amber who presented a beautiful focus assembly about Fairness. The students sang beautifully, and their actions reflected the spirit of fairness. The story ‘Fair is Fair’ reinforced the message that fairness does not mean everyone gets the same, it means everyone gets what they need. Thank you to all those parents and friends who came along to support the students.
Please note if there are any students in grades 4, 5 or 6 who are new to our school, are Catholic and have not received the sacraments of Reconciliation or First Holy Communion please email me so they can receive an invitation letter anne.leet@cg.catholic.edu.au
Thank you to those parents who have already done so.

“God sent his Son to save the world through him.”
Something to Think About
Who are the people in your life who love you? How do they show you that they love you?
God loves us so much that he sent his son, Jesus, to save the world.
The Story
In this Gospel, we hear about how much God loves us.
God the Father loves us so much that he sent his Son, Jesus, to save us.
Jesus promises that everyone who has faith in him will live forever.
On Trinity Sunday we think about the mystery of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Make the Sign of the Cross together before you listen to the gospel reading.

On Wednesday some of our Year 6 students participated in the Wally Masur Cup tennis tournament. The students pitted their skills against another Northside school, Aranda Primary, in what was a chilly, but enjoyable day. All the students represented their respected schools with great distinction, displaying great sportsmanship and encouraging their peers. One of our teams won the event, while another was a close runner up. Tennis ACT is hopeful that there will be a finals day later in the year, consisting of the southside winners, so we will keep the community posted if and when this eventuates.
