Next Friday we will farewell Miss Tully Byrnes, who will be taking up a teaching position at St Thomas Mores, Campbell. Tully commenced her career as a CSA as MTS over two years ago and was granted a permit to teach part-time in Year 1 as she completed her studies. While very sad to be leaving Tully is keen to experience life in a small school as she commences her career as a full-time teacher for Term 3. We all wish Tully all the very best; I know she will be missed by the children and staff. 

 

As advised last week, Mr Jason Smith has taken up a position as a senior school chemistry teacher at Merici College from the start of Term 3. We have valued Jason's contribution and commitment to our school, the Year 6 team and 6 Ink.

We are working hard to fill our current teaching vacancies, and I hope to advise parents as soon as plans are in place. 

Families Leaving

If you know you will be leaving Mother Teresa in 2025 can you advise the school office as soon as possible. We have a growing waiting list with families keen for a place in 2026. 

Extended Holidays

A reminder to families taking extended leave to contact the office to confirm the number of days and if you are required to complete the extended leave application. When granted, a certificate is issued by the Principal and must be carried with travel documents.

The Semester One report will be released on Wednesday in Week 10. Families leaving at the end of the Term need to download all reports for safekeeping, as the Compass portal will be closed once a child is no longer enrolled. In line with CE reporting arrangements, there will be no formal comments included on the Semester One reports, only grades. The parent conference or personal plan meeting is an important time to learn about your child's progress. Please visit the Compass Conference tab to book a parent conference. Interviews are occurring in Week 9. I trust people made an effort to book in to meet their child's teacher. Unfortunately, there will be no interviews for 2 Jade, 4 Arymethist or 5 Ivory.

Have a lovely weekend
