Message from the
Principal

Dear Families,

Over the last two weeks, we have celebrated sporting and academic achievements, kindness, empathy, attendance, and community. Congratulations to all who have received awards or recognition for their efforts. It is equally important to acknowledge the ongoing commitment of every student to be their best self — learning from mistakes, accepting responsibility, and striving for improvement. I am so proud of you all. Well done.

Year 6 Graduation

Last night, we celebrated our Year 6 students—their achievements, growth, and leadership. We also acknowledged the valuable contribution of their families to life at St Therese’s, along with the dedication of all the staff who have been part of their journey. We wish our students every success and know they will carry St Therese’s with them in their hearts.

Citizenship Award

A good citizen at St Therese’s is someone who consistently lives out our school values in everything they do. They show leadership not only in their classroom, but also in the playground, during school activities, and within the wider community. This person demonstrates initiative by stepping forward to help, by taking responsibility for their actions, and by looking for ways to make our school a better place. They are there for others, offering kindness, encouragement, and support whenever it is needed. A good citizen always strives to do their best, even when things are challenging, and never gives up when faced with obstacles. The 2025 recipients of this award are:

6OMA - Darby Kramer

6KBO - Roman McCarroll

6TMC - Edward Pertzel
