WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS
The Whole school focus theme for this JUBILEE 2025 year is ‘PILGRIMS OF HOPE’
This term ‘The Mother Teresa School Way’ is to be:
Companions on the Journey: Caring, Supporting, and Growing Together.
On our spiritual journey, we often face challenges such as fear, doubt, and anxiety. It's easy to feel alone or give up, but we are called to support each other. Like companions, we care for one another and inspire hope. Faith is strengthened through regular "resistance training"—prayer, service, and sacraments. Mother Teresa reminded us to always offer hope, especially when the road gets tough. By caring for others, we also grow in our own faith and resilience.
Scripture Reference: “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11 As companions on the journey, we are called to care for and support one another, building each other up in faith. This strengthens us collectively and individually, allowing us to grow through service and love.
“Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.”
Something to Think About
Have you ever been fishing? Do you think it would be easy or hard to catch fish?
The disciples were great fishermen, but in this story they go fishing all night and catch nothing. Then a stranger appears on the shore. It’s Jesus but they don’t know it yet. He asks them to let their nets down again. They catch so many fish that they can hardly fit them in the boat. The disciples are so surprised! Then they realise that the man is Jesus and they come ashore to sit around a warm fire and eat bread and fish.
