Deputy Principal's Message

Hello Mother Teresa Community, 

What a couple of weeks we have had with the excitement and engagement of Book Week and all of the other activities. 

Over the last two weeks we have seen many students cash in their PBL tokens for prizes. We have seen students being teachers in their classroom, music being played over the speaker and many students cashing in their tokens for Zooper Doopers. Well done to all of our students who have been collecting their tokens and using them. 

PBL Focus: I let the teachers teach and learners learn

Next week, students will return to a familiar lesson, focussing on letting the teachers teach and learners learn. We have been noticing in classrooms that there is more disruption, calling out and defiance occurring, so a reminder on this comes at the right time. 

As parents, you may be experiencing changes in your child/ren's behaviour at home as well. This is not uncommon. Below is a link from Kids First, that supports parents to understand why children's behaviour escalate, particularly in Term 3 and ways you can support your child at home. 

As always, if there is anything we can support you with at school please reach out.
