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
We will share our gifts and talents with each other throughout the year. The values we will be focusing on this term are Calm, Truth, Justice, Forgiveness & Love.
PRAYER FOCUS
Thank you to Mrs Hawes, Ms Caputo and Year 3 Aqua and Cobalt who presented a beautiful Prayer Focus at about how at Mother Teresa School We are called to Dream and be Calm. They sang beautifully and captivated their audience by singing ‘My Light House’. The scriptures reference was Jesus Calming the Storm and it is a symbol for us that God can still the chaos and disorder in our lives. Thank you to all the parents who came along to lend their support.

“The Lord Jesus was taken into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God.”
Something to Think About
With God to help us, wonderful things are possible. Jesus said, 'Go and preach the good news to everyone'.
How could you preach the good news?
Perhaps you could share with people instead of keeping things for yourself.
Maybe you could laugh and smile, rather than complaining.
The Story
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells his disciples to spread the message that anyone who believes in him will be able to do wonderful things.
Jesus was taken back up to heaven and sat at the right side of God.
The disciples preached everywhere and Jesus was with them.
Through the power of Jesus, the disciples were able to work miracles.
