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.
TORIMBA STREET PARADE – SATURDAY 12th OCTOBER
This year we have chosen to do “Stone Age” – The theme is a moment in time. The students can dress in stone age clothing. Our float is coming from the Tranter and Reynolds family of Red Bend Farming. Thank you very much. Terry Tranter will be driving the truck. We will meet at Ascham Street at 2.30pm so the students can board the float ready for the procession at 3.00pm. Once the parade has finished going around the street twice, the truck will pull over and stop. No student will be allowed to leave the truck until a parent comes to pick them up. If your child is going on another float to support a sporting club or queen, that is quite ok. We love to support our community for the Torimba Festival. Thank you for your co-operation.
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.
