Donna McDonald - Principal's Note

Gospel reading for Sunday, 23rd August, 2020
In Room 2, we have been doing some really cool writing to God. We have also been doing a mini study of Fantastic Mr. Fox, comparing the book to the movie. We have learnt about the characters and how the movie can be quite different from the book. We also loved dressing up for Book Character Day last week.
Reporters: Brody, Alex, Esther and Kyle
Dramatic Inquiry Parent Evening - Thursday, 27th August at 5p.m.
You are invited to join us on Thursday, 27th August to learn about our school journey into Dramatic Inquiry. Dramatic Inquiry is an umbrella term for inquiry learning, where drama is used to step in and out of imagined worlds. At St. Theresa’s we have been exploring 3 approaches in particular. Child-structured dramatic play, Process drama and Mantle of the Expert. These all fit perfectly with our learning through play philosophy. Come and join us at 5pm for a hands-on, fun and informative session

We're taking the stress out of making lunches on a Friday!

- You can pay in full for the rest of this term - bank account 12 3254 0109325 00 or simply attach your money to the order form. Please email the Office to let us know if that's what you've decided to do. YOU STILL NEED TO FILL OUT A FORM - just write 'PREPAID' on it.
- We can't hold paid orders over if your child is absent on the day as we will already have placed our pizza orders the previous evening.
- If possible, please try and have the correct amount of money attached to the order and not to expect change or simply deduct it from your next order.
- You can pay by Eftpos or cash at the Office too.
- One order per child please.
- All orders for the week need to be in by 9a.m. on each Thursday morning.
