LIBRARY NEWS
This term we are excited about having an author visit our school. Steven Herrick will be visiting us on Tuesday, 29th of October. His performance is for our year 3-6 students and will begin at 2:00pm. We have also invited the Ravenshoe State School students from years 3-6 to enjoy this experience with us. There is a flyer with information for those students and staff members that are interested in purchasing a signed copy of one of Steven’s books, they will be available on the day as well. I have had feedback from other schools who have had the pleasure of seeing one of Steven’s shows and thought it was fantastic! The students were really engaged in his performance. We are excited to host Steven in his upcoming visit.
DAY FOR DANIEL
Friday 25th of October is Day for Daniel. Day for Daniel is Australia's largest child safety education and awareness day.

To assist in raising both awareness and funds for the Foundation students at St Teresa's are

VINNIES CHRISTMAS APPEAL
During Term 4, Vinnies begins its annual Christmas Appeal, seeking donations and funds to help support people during the festive season. It is estimated that there are over 750,000 children across Australia living in poverty with many families and individuals feeling socially isolated. The Christmas Appeal aims to support families and individuals who are struggling by helping to pay bills, provide food, clothing, hampers and presents during the festive season.
BE PREP READY FOR 2025
St. Teresa's Leadership has started planning for 2025 in anticipation of the arrival of our new Prep students. Several students are already indicating their attendance at our school next year, with others possibly unaware that they need to enrol early so the school can make the necessary preparations for their commencement and induction into our school. These early preparations ensure a smooth start to the formal education life of our students. If you are contemplating St Teresa's for your student, don't hesitate to get in touch with the school and arrange an opportunity for an interview, a tour, or an enrolment application.
St Teresa’s also invites you to come and participate in our Under 8’s Day and our Prep Transition mornings in Term 4.
