‘The Mother Teresa School Way’:
We will show the value of Unity towards those we meet in our class and on the playground by:
having harmony in the group- doing something together at the same time
- working together with a shared goal
- respecting everyone
- making big tasks seem easy.
- creating a sense of belonging and increasing well-being for all.
- having fun and makes us feel like a family.

a spring of eternal life.”
The Story
In this story Jesus meets a woman who other people avoided. Jesus listens to her as an understanding friend and tells her about the ways in which she can quench her thirst for God. The woman believes, and then shares the Good News with others.

LENT & PROJECT COMPASSION
The theme of Project Compassion 2023 is ‘For All Future Generations’ and reminds us that the good we do today extends to impact the lives of generations to come. It invites us to make the world a better place by working together now and finding long-term solutions to global issues.
At Mother Teresa School, we are trying to reach out to others and bring hope to those who are less fortunate than ourselves during this time of Lent by raising money for Project Compassion. We encourage you to talk to your child about the importance of giving to those in need and to give generously. Each class has a Project Compassion box available for the children’s donations.
We invite all families to contribute by sending in the envelops each week. Please talk to your child/ren about this important project and aspect of Lent. Let us remember though that it is not how much we give, but the compassion that accompanies our giving. This week we raised $381.00 a total of $1,113.45. Thank you for your generosity!
