Rooted in Christ's teaching of love for God, self and others, the family of St Teresa's School is committed to developing the values of compassion, service, love and respect in our girls. We aim to nurture and inspire responsible, enquiring young women who strive for excellence in all facets of life. As an independent Catholic school, we aim to provide a safe environment for the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, creative, physical and social development of girls of all religions. We strive to enable our girls to value their own uniqueness in order to develop a healthy self-image. We encourage the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing world and to live at peace within it. We support and supplement the efforts of parents in challenging each girl to achieve the best of which she is capable while fostering qualities of courtesy, initiative and cooperation. Our leadership style is designed to develop confidence, initiative and critical thinking in our girls so that they can become capable, independent and responsible young women, with a strong sense of service to their wider community. One of our main objectives is to ensure our girls learn to live our Core Values: Compassion, Excellence, Collaboration, Spiritual Growth & Development and Global Vision & Responsibility, Excellence and Collaboration. These traits are encouraged at all times, whether in the classroom, playgrounds, sports fields or in cultural activities. Our focus is to lay an excellent educational foundation so that our girls are equipped with all the skills and knowledge required to excel in all areas of school life and beyond. We have a proud history of producing outstanding young women with a reputation for their strength of character, a sense of leadership and service, an inner beauty, joyful spirit and self-confidence, which positions them to succeed in the world. Join the St Teresa's School family and watch your daughter learn, grow and thrive.

🇿🇦 Celebrating heritage, the Rosie way 🌍

Across St Teresa’s School, Heritage Day gave our girls the opportunity to celebrate where they come from, while learning a little more about the cultures and traditions of the friends beside them.

Our Junior Primary and Senior Primary Rosies shared stories, traditions and foods from around the world, with a few proudly South African favourites in the mix too! 🇿🇦 Our High School girls brought the celebration to life through traditional dances from their different cultures.

There is something special about being proud of your own heritage while taking the time to appreciate someone else’s. Different backgrounds, different traditions and so much to share and learn from one another.

Rooted in Mercy, we grow in understanding, respect and appreciation for the many stories and cultures that shape our St Teresa’s School community, this is the Rosie Way.🌹

A new chapter for our Senior Primary 🌹

We were delighted to officially open our newly transformed Senior Primary classroom block with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Senior Primary Principal, Mrs Lindsey Verster, thanked Tammy Olson de Fine and Neil Duncan from our Building Committee for the time, commitment and care they have given to bringing this project to life.

After playing such an important role in the project, Tammy had the well-deserved privilege of cutting the ribbon and officially opening the block. ✂️💙

These new spaces are ready for our Rosies to learn, grow and thrive, and to be part of many more chapters in the St Teresa’s School story.

👣 Leaving our print, the Rosie Way 🌹

St Teresa’s School came together for something bigger than ourselves.

From our littlest Rosebuds in Grade 000 to our Matrics, alongside our teachers and staff, we participated in the Catholic Schools Office’s initiative, coming to school barefoot or in slops in solidarity with the thousands of children who walk to school without shoes every day.

A simple act with an important message: to notice the experiences of others, appreciate what we have and respond with compassion.

Mercy is more than a value we speak about. It’s something we live. From the very beginning of a Rosie’s journey, right through to Matric. 💙

One school. One Rosie journey. Walking with others. 👣🌹

🌿 Purposeful Play, the Rosebuds Way! 🐌

Our little explorers headed outdoors for a snail hunt, discovering fascinating creatures hiding in nature. There was plenty to investigate as they watched the snails slowly glide along, leaving silvery trails behind, and took a closer look at the beautiful spirals and patterns on their shells. 🌀✨

At Rosebuds, play has purpose. Curiosity starts young, and through experiences like these, our girls are encouraged to explore, ask questions and make discoveries for themselves, laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.

Where educating girls the Rosie Way begins. 🌹💙

Come and experience a day the Rosie Way at Rosebuds Pre-Primary and see Purposeful Play for yourself.

We stand together. 💜

St Teresa’s School stands alongside schools and communities across South Africa in saying no to gender-based violence.

Fr PJ Cassidy shares this prayer with our Rosie community:

Lord God of Mercy
We pray with all our women who have succumbed to such a violent death these days, Lord grant them peace.
We pray and remember their families and friends that are in tears, they may feel comforted by our God of Healing.
We think of all our front-line staff who are busy searching for a break through and just end to this terrible crime.
We remember South Africa and we pray for a deeper respect for women and realise that they are an equal gift in God’s eyes, a shining beacon of light where Love prevails.
Lord may your Mercy grant healing and a spirit of hope to all and may the souls of those who have died, Rest in Eternal Peace and Rise in the Glory of God.
Amen

Fr PJ Cassidy

May our prayers be accompanied by compassion, respect and a shared commitment to a safer South Africa for all. 💜

Discover the story of Saint Carlo Acutis, “The Millennial Saint” 💙

We invite our St Teresa’s School community to visit this special exhibition, currently on display in the Senior Primary Auditorium until 15:00 on Thursday, 17 September.

A gifted young programmer, Carlo embraced technology and used it creatively and purposefully to share his faith. His story has particular relevance for St Teresa’s School. As both a Google school and a smartphone-free school, we believe in equipping our girls to use technology as a powerful tool for learning, creativity and connection, while understanding the importance of balance and boundaries.

Carlo’s example offers a wonderfully simple reminder for our increasingly digital world: technology should serve our lives, not take them over.

To learn more about Carlo, his life, his faith and his remarkable story, pop in and visit the exhibition before it closes on Thursday afternoon.

All are welcome. 🌹

Quick thinking. Sharp minds. Serious competition. 🧠➗

This week, our Senior Primary hosted the Sandton Region Maths 24 Semi-Finals, bringing together some of the region’s strongest young mathematicians for a battle of speed, strategy and skill.

Gia N and Thelma R represented St Teresa’s School superbly against tough competition, tackling the challenging 2-dot and 3-dot Maths 24 cards.

A special congratulations to Gia, who earned her place in the top seven and went on to compete in the final round! 👏

A fantastic display of mathematical skill, determination and excellence. 🌹

There’s nothing quite like House spirit! 💙🏆

Our annual Junior Primary Inter-House Sports Day brought our girls, staff and families together for a day filled with cheering, friendly competition and a whole lot of Rosie spirit. It’s this enthusiasm from the sidelines, encouragement from teammates and support from our school community that helps spark a love of sport in our girls from their earliest years.

Our girls gave it their all in the flat, novelty and relay races, as well as the Grade 3 long jump. The parent sack race, of course, brought plenty of laughs! 😄

Congratulations to Marian House on taking home the trophy, and well done to McAuley and Lourdes for a fantastic day of competition.

Thank you to everyone who came along to cheer our Rosies on, and to our Class Reps for the delicious catering. 🌹
