HOLY WEEK

As a Catholic School, with Jesus and the gospel at the core of what we do...we have celebrated the events of Holy Week, which still have significance and meaning for us today.

We remember the meal that Jesus initiated, we remember that he spent time with his friends and that they had weaknesses and failings. We remembered that he suffered for others and that he overcame despair and suffering so that we can also see that light will always stand out in the darkness. We need to take this light, light the flame of others and watch the dawn break in a world that can so often live in the darkness of night.

CROSS COUNTRY

A big thank you to Leigh for organising another very successful St Therese Cross Country on last week.
We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, being able to have our Cross Country down on our local beach is definitely something we shouldn’t take for granted.

WELCOME MASS

We would like to thank all the St Therese families who made the effort and came along Mass this morning, it was a lovely morning.
We celebrated a new school year, welcoming our Foundation students and their families and took part in the St Therese staff commissioning ceremony.

BEGINNING OF SCHOOL MASS

This morning we celebrated the beginning of a new school year with a Mass at St Therese Church. Not only did we warmly welcome new students and their families but we also congratulated and awarded the new school leaders with their badges.

WELCOME BACK!

Well it’s safe to say this week has already been a huge success. All staff and students have settled in well and excited to be back. Here's to a fabulous new year!

GRADUATION 

Monday night we said farewell to our Grade 6 students in a lovely graduation ceremony. Parents, students and teachers came together and celebrated a Liturgy, followed by the outgoing student leaders giving their speeches. All students were then presented with a graduating certificate and shared supper. 
A big thank you to the teachers for making the night so special. 
We wish all the Grade 6 students farewell and good luck next year.

END OF YEAR MASS

Luke Dickinson and Maisie Ryan - Principals Award
Andie Byrne - Knights of Southern Cross Award
Merrick O'Neil and Ava Leon - Lions Club Award

GRANDPARENT'S DAY

Grandparents and special friends day was such a happy day, with Grandparents and special friends coming from far and wide to spend time at St Therese school with their grandchildren.
We had a very special Liturgy, Grandparent interviews, a song from the choir and a wonderful time spent in learning areas - an afternoon creating long-lasting memories. There were smiles, excitement and joyful hearts. Definitely a highlight event, it was wonderful to see such enjoyment.

Thank you to everyone who attended, purchased books, supplied a plate to share and helped with afternoon tea.

Also a very big Thank You to the St Therese community for supporting our Book Fair, your investment  helps build our library resources and encourages children to be excited about reading and learning.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

During our Walkathon on Friday 9th November, a few of our students happened upon the unveiling of two new seats dedicated to Remembrance Day at Fisho's Beach.
RSL members and Sarah Henderson MP​ were at the unveiling who explained to the students the significance of the commemorative seats.

A big thanks to Peter Thomas from the RSL for his photos and to Luella, Ryan, Bronte and Duke, our models.

WALKATHON

On Friday 9th November, we held a Reach Vietnam Walkathon. This idea was suggested and organised by the Year 3/4 students, to raise funds for our friends in Kontum, Vietnam.
As a school, we walked down to Fisherman's Beach where students explored Fishos and played with some sports equipment and made sandcastles.
There were sponsor books involved, where donations could be made per family, per kilometre walked. In total we raised more than $1500.

Thank you for your generosity and support to make a difference in these girls lives.

FEAST OF ST THERESE

Friday saw us celebrating the Feast of St Therese, our school's namesake, with our good friends from Lisieux and Nazareth. 
The day started with a whole school Mass followed by our annual Mission Day. Mission Day is a day of fundraising activities organised by the Senior Students where the rest of the school can participate in a variety of games and can purchase food that the seniors have made.
All funds raised go to our Reach Vietnam project.
The day was a huge success and we would like to congratulate the 5/6 students on their great organisation.

WELCOME BACK!

It's a bit of a miserable start to the term (weather wise) but the students are excited. They have all settled in well and there is a buzz of engagement as you walk throughout the school. We hope your child(ren) have a fabulous day today and tell you all about it when they get home.
