As Jesus modelled for us, we want our students to be inquisitive learners who persevere, push themselves, and develop into kind and conscientious citizens of the future.
Every part of school life reflects our ideals.
Our students are equipped for life as British citizens because our beliefs align with the core British ideals of democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, and respect for one another.
The school is firmly committed to democracy.
The entire school uses positive behaviour management techniques, and rules and expectations are reaffirmed throughout school assemblies and class circle times.
Our principles are based on respect for one another.
St. Teresa's is a school with a variety of cultural backgrounds and a well-regarded inclusive ethos and practise.
This diversity is something we value in our education.
As examples, consider how we observe several religious holidays throughout the year, how all of our students—including those with disabilities—participate in all of our educational programmes, and how we train our staff to continue this inclusive culture.
The impact of their activities on both their own and other people's rights is something that children learn.
Everyone in the school community is respectful of one another.
Since St. Teresa's is a Catholic school located in a multicultural region, we lay a strong emphasis on teaching kids about diversity.
