St Teresa's School Newsletter
Monday 14th October 2024
Kia ora,
Welcome back to the final term of 2024! We hope you all had a refreshing break and are ready for the exciting journey ahead. This term promises to be filled with special events, meaningful learning, and opportunities to strengthen our school community.
As we begin, we celebrate the feast day of Saint Teresa of Avila. Saint Teresa reminds us that we are called to be the hands of Christ in the world. As she beautifully said, “Christ has no body now but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which He looks compassion on this world.” Let this reminder inspire us to show kindness and care in all we do this term.
We’re excited to see what we can achieve together!
