25.01.2022 On Tuesday 22nd of September our school celebrated the life of St Therese whose Feast Day we celebrate on October 1. We started the day with prayer, then each year group participated in fun activities throughout the day, always with St Therese at the Centre of the activity. Students completed a badge and pinned it onto their clothes to celebrate St Therese, they also made Good Deed Beads. Every child was also given a rose on which they were to write/draw 3 kind deeds that th...ey can do for others. Everyone had a wonderful day of fun & reflection of our Patron Saint.

18.01.2022 Lunchtime at St Therese means lots of activity. Some of our students are taking part in the OzKids competition which is all about promoting students literacy and artistic talents. Our amazing SRC have organised a handball competition which is so much fun. Some of our talented Year 6 students teach dance classes to their peers. There are also some students who love to build with the blocks. Its wonderful to see our students sharing their talents and having fun together.

17.01.2022 During some lunchtimes through the week, students are given the opportunity to participate in quiet activities with their friends in the hall. Today we had some St Therese themed activities that students could take part in.

17.01.2022 What will Term 2 look like? School will return on Wednesday April 29. This means that, in the first two weeks of Term 2, the majority of our students will conti...nue with the remote learning program begun at the end of Term 1. Schools will be open and operational for students that need to attend but where practical, parents are encouraged to keep their children at home. Students will be provided a single unit of work to complete at school or at home. A limited number of staff will be present onsite for supervision during this time. The school arrangements for Term 2 are intended to enable sufficient physical distancing to prevent the spread of COVID 19 and to ensure the protection of all staff and students. From Week 3 (May 11), Sydney Catholic Schools will begin a phased return to onsite learning. We are currently consulting with school leaders and staff for the best way to manage this within each community. More information on the model of return will be provided to parents and students as we approach Week 3. Thank you for your continuing support as we all work together to keep each other as safe as possible. #sydneycatholicschools
