Principal's Message Term 1 Week 4 - 2023
Dear Parents
As a Catholic learning community,
all at Mother Teresa School are called
to care, to dream, to innovate, to inspire!
Our Year 6 cohort has had a fabulous time at camp and I know they will have many stories to share over the weekend and in weeks to come. Thank you to Craig Hart for his coordination and all of the staff involved - Kelly Boyton, Belinda Hicks, Kieran Russell, Jessica Binet, and Sarah Stubbs. I know they will all have a well-earned rest over the weekend.

Enjoy the sunny weekend.
