St Teresa of Kolkata Primary

Last night, our Year 6 students took an important step in their faith journey as they celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation at our parish church alongside their families, staff, parish community, Father and Bishop.

Confirmation marks a special moment when students strengthen their relationship with God and are called to live out the gifts of the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. Inspired by the example of St Teresa of Kolkata, we encourage our students to use these gifts to serve others with kindness, compassion and courage.

We congratulate our Year 6 students on this significant milestone and pray that they continue to grow as young people of faith, guided by God's love and the spirit of service that lies at the heart of our school community.

Our Prep students enjoyed their first excursion this term with a walk to Vestige Circuit Park! 🌳During the visit, students explored the park and observed its different features, including play spaces, pathways and natural areas. They discussed why parks are important places in our community, helping people play, exercise, relax and spend time together.
Back in the classroom, students reflected on their learning by writing about what they saw and experienced. Excursions like this help students make real-world connections to their learning, build observation skills and develop their understanding of the local community around them. ☀️

Our Year 4 students have wrapped up two fantastic weeks in the swimming program! 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️ Throughout the program, students developed their swimming skills, built confidence in the water, and demonstrated perseverance as they challenged themselves to learn new techniques. Beyond the physical skills, swimming is an important life skill that promotes water safety, resilience, and personal wellbeing.

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, effort, and positive attitude shown by our Year 4 students throughout the program. Well done, Year 4! 🌟

💛🧡As we celebrate the joy of Pentecost, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit calls us to live with courage, compassion and love. Inspired by the life and mission of Saint Teresa of Kolkata, may we continue to be a community that serves others with kindness, welcomes all with open hearts, and brings God’s light into the world through our words and actions.

May the fire of the Holy Spirit guide our school community to be people of peace, hope and service this Pentecost. 🧡💛

🌏 This term in Inquiry, our Year 5 students have been exploring Changing Places and investigating how people shape the world around us. Through maps, research, discussions and work samples, students have been learning about how communities and environments change over time, with a special focus on our local area and its history. By understanding how places grow and change, our students are developing a deeper appreciation of their community and how to care for it for our future generations. ♻️

We are so excited to be hosting our first STK book fair! 📚 Stay tuned to SeeSaw for further information!
