Principal's Message Term 2 Week 2 - 2023

Dear Parents

As a Catholic learning community,

all at Mother Teresa School are called

to care, to dream, to innovate, to inspire!

Staffing News

This week we welcomed Mrs Amy Slaven who commenced in Kinder Crimson on Monday. It is wonderful to have Amy as a staff member and parent within our community

As advised last week Sue McCluskey is leaving Mother Teresa School to take a position at the Department of Defence. Sue has been at MTS for the past nine years and I know will be missed by all, especially me. Sue's last day will be Friday 12 May. Mrs Steph Reed, who currently covers two days in our student reception and three days as CSA will move across to take up the front office reception position, until the end of the year. We have advertised to replace Steph's classroom support hours.

Year 4 Excursion to the Cotter

The Year 4 children all had a wonderful day on their excursion to the Cotter Dam to learn about Canberra’s water history and supply network, local environment, the complex engineering involved with the Enlarged Cotter Dam Project, as well as the Indigenous and European heritage in the area. This excursion also provided the students understanding of the key processes in the water cycle and how water cycles through the environment.

Enrolment Time

The Catholic Schools enrolment period officially commenced on Monday and concludes on Friday 26 May.
