Principal's Message Term 1 Week 5 2024
Dear Parents
As a Catholic learning community,
all at Mother Teresa School are called
to care, to dream, to innovate, to inspire!
This week we have continued to keep Mrs Thuy Reilly and her son Campbell (Year 2) in our prayers following the loss of Desmond last weekend due to heart issues. Des was a beautiful man who took a great interest in his family and our school community. We will all miss him very much.
May eternal rest grant unto him O Lord
and may perpetual light shine upon him
May he rest in peace.
Our Year 6 students have had a wonderful time on camp this week. A great adventure with lots of fun activities. Thank you to the amazing staff who supported the children on the three-day camp.
School Photo Days
Our school photos are happening on Monday and Wednesday next week. Please ensure the children come dressed in their full summer uniform. Family photos start from 7:45am on Monday 4 March in the hall, no booking is required.
Please check the timetables below for what day and approximate time your child's photo will occur. Please get your child to school on time as we are unable to alter the schedule due to our school timetable.
School Attendance
Daily school attendance is essential unless a child is not well. It is also critical that children are at school by 8.45am. Due to the number of children arriving late the teacher will now be marking rolls at 8.55 each day. If a child is not in class by 8.55am they will be recorded as not present and must be checked in at the office. Children will be issued with
- a yellow pass if they arrive via the office indicating they are on time or
- a blue ticket indicating they arrived after 8.55am and have been formally signed in.
Please make every effort to get your child to school on time.
Our current school focus is on being Courageous
Compass Absent Days
When entering absent days into Compass, please only enter days when your child is absent for a whole day. When students are dropped off late or go home early you are required to sign them in/out on our Compass Kiosks in the front office which then creates that absent note.
Uniform Shop
Our uniform shop volunteers have advised that they will be opening the uniform shop every Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 until 9:00am.
Next week I will be attending the annual Principals Retreat in Bowral from Tuesday. Please refer any concerns to Craig Hart in my absence.
