Dear Parents and Carers,

We have reached the end of Term 3, a hectic term with its challenges due to difficulties securing staff. Like all schools, the staff at MTS work incredibly hard to ensure the children received a quality education despite the current teacher shortage.

Congratulations to our Year 4 children who received their First Eucharist last weekend from Fr Troy. It was a very special occasion, and many thanks to Mrs Anne Leet and the teachers for their preparation. 

I trust you have an enjoyable break as everyone returns refreshed for Term 4 on Tuesday, 14 October.  

School Counsellor Appointed

A new school counsellor will be joining Mother Teresa in Week 1 of Term 4. Her name is Amanda Brideoake. Amanda is a highly experienced psychologist with a strong background in school counselling. Amanda’s first day will be Tuesday, 14th October. (Monday will be dedicated to a full day of orientation and student handover.) She will be working every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

A Rostrum Highlight

A huge congratulations to Siena Di Pietro, who represented MTS on Monday evening at the ACT Rostrum grand finals at the Performing Arts Centre, Canberra College. Siena spoke with confidence and delivered a wonderful speech on the topic of 'Making Waves', a brand-new topic Siena had two weeks to work on and memorise. For her amazing efforts, Siena won the Randall Falkiner Award. This is awarded to rostrum speakers with the best researched topic. Congratulations Siena!
