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 Innovate.
“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." Psalm 139:14
At Mother Teresa School the value we will be focusing on is Sustainability, this means:
- Reduce, reuse, recycle: Practice the 3 Rs to minimise waste and conserve resources.
- Choose sustainable products: Opt for items made from recycled, biodegradable or sustainably sourced materials. Look out for ‘greenwashing’ — where brands claim to be eco-friendly but don’t actually deliver meaningful impact.
- Conserve energy and water: Turn off lights and appliances when not in use, and fix leaks to prevent water waste. Insulate ceilings and double glaze windows to reduce heating requirements in winter.
- Support local and organic: Buy from local farmers and choose organic products when possible to reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture.
- Pick up plastic and other rubbish: Actively participate in cleaning the environment, with particular attention to removing plastics that could be consumed by birds or fish.
RECONCILIATION 2024
Please pray for our Year 3 teachers and students who are currently preparing for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
Thank you to all those families who came along to the Reconciliation Heart Mass last weekend. It was wonderful to see so many at the various masses. If you were unable to make it, please bring your heart along this weekend so it can be displayed in the foyer.
A reminder that everyone should have enrolled by now and made their payment. An email has been sent out to all to register for the date and time they wish their child to make the sacrament of reconciliation.
Please contact anne.leet@cg.catholic.edu.au or mel.unwin@cg.catholic.edu.au if you have any questions.
Something to Think About
Think about the kinds of decisions you make each day. Perhaps you have to think about what to wear, and what you would like for breakfast. What other choices do you make?
The Story
Many people were finding it too hard to follow Jesus, and so they were turning away from him. In the gospel story we hear today, the disciples too were faced with the important choice of whether or not they were going to follow Jesus. Simon Peter declares that there is no one else that they can go to. He tells Jesus that the disciples have faith in him, because the words of Jesus give eternal life.
