Dear Parents,

As the bitter winter settles in we keep in mind all of those in our community who are feeling under the weather at the present time. A reminder to please keep any sick children at home and inform the school of their absence via the COMPASS app.

Parent Teacher Interviews
Next week classroom teachers will meet with parents to celebrate the achievements of their children for the first half of the school year. This is an opportunity for parents and teachers to unite, collaborate and set targets for the remainder of the year, solidifying the notion that it truly does take a village to raise a child.

A reminder that if you have been invited to attend a personal plan meeting in Weeks 9 or 10 then it is unnecessary to also book a parent interview in Week 8. 

School Uniform
As the weather gets colder we continue to accumulate more lost items of clothing. In order for these precious and costly items to be returned to their rightful owners we require them to be clearly labelled please.

A reminder that during June and July hats are not required at school. For more information about our uniform policy please click the link below:

God Bless

WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS
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 Dream.
“Don't be afraid to dream big because we have a big God who can do all things. It is only through God's power that we can accomplish all the dreams he has put in our hearts.” Matthew 19:26
Our value next two weeks is: JUSTICE we do this ‘The Mother Teresa School Way' by:

• embracing differences
• treating others fairly
• respecting our self and others
• having the courage to speak out
• recognising similarities and difference
• giving everyone a fair go!

“The mustard seed, the smallest of all the seeds, grows into the biggest shrub of all.”

 

Something to Think About
Can you think of some little things that grow into very big things?

The Story
In today’s story, Jesus is explaining what the kingdom of God is like.  Jesus says the kingdom of God is like a small, small seed growing into a very large tree.  From little things, big things grow. A small thing like a smile can bring joy and friendship to someone who is sad. When these small, kind actions spread throughout the world, God’s kingdom grows!

Peace and best wishes,

Anne Leet REC
