Principal's Message
It is with great joy that I welcome you to Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School Mt Ridley. As the Principal, I am deeply honored to lead this wonderful school. At Mother Teresa, our school community is inspired by the life and teachings of St. Teresa of Calcutta. We strive to embody her values of love, compassion, and service in all that we do. It is our mission to help students develop a deep understanding of their faith while nurturing their academic potential and emotional wellbeing.
We take great pride in supporting our students in their development across all areas: spiritually, socially, intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Our aim is to foster the total well-being of each child and create a safe environment where meaningful relationships can thrive.
I am blessed to be supported by a dedicated team of staff members who work tirelessly to provide a challenging, stimulating curriculum tailored to the needs of every student. Our goal is to ensure that each child is equipped with the skills they need to succeed in life and to become individuals who contribute positively to their community. We are excited to partner with you in your child’s educational journey, and we look forward to working together to build a strong foundation for their future.
