Our Mother Teresa Way
A School wide positive relationship framework The Mother Teresa Way is based on the core Christian values of:
LOVE HOPE COMMUNITY
JOY These values are witnessed in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. Our Mother Teresa Way describes how we live and learn together in a Catholic Community and is explicitly taught and reinforced in all aspects and contexts of school life. Relationships Relationships and Community are at the very core of Christian living. The vitality of relationships is expressed in God’s ‘Trinitarian nature’: Father, Son, Spirit. This understanding inspires those in Catholic Education to strive to be a living Christian community in relationship with God, others and the world. When we exclude God from our relationships, we diminish purposeful meaning and direction. When God is central to faith and life, we have hope and joy. Wherever we experience love we experience God; for God is love (1 John 4:8). There is nothing more important than healthy, positive relationships and well-being within a community. Positive relationships allow everyone to achieve maximum potential and growth. A school which lives out its values is a happy, welcoming, caring and safe place where there is great potential for everybody’s needs to be met, and where all have the opportunity to succeed and develop to their full potential. As stated in the Melbourne Declaration on Education Goals for Young Australians (MCEETYA 2008): ‘students need to have a sense of self-worth, self-awareness and personal identity that enables them to manage their emotional, mental, spiritual and physical well-being’, with a sense of hope and ‘optimism about their future’. On a social level, it helps students to ‘form and maintain healthy relationships’ and prepares them ‘for their potential life roles as family, community and workforce members’
At Mother Teresa, a range of beliefs, practices, programs and strategies are in place across the school which aim to develop healthy, positive school culture. These include:
Student engagement in deep learning experiences The Religious Educations Curriculum Circle Solutions
The Classroom Management Framework Strategies such as Restorative Practices

Office Hours Monday to Friday 7:45am – 3:30pm
Communication with the school If you have any concerns in regard to your child/children’s learning or welfare at school, it is important that your first point of contact is the classroom teacher. If after discussions you are not happy with the outcome you may wish to talk further with a member of the Leadership Team, particular if it is related to their area of responsibility. Matters of serious concern should of course be discussed with the Principal or a member of the Leadership Team. It can be disconcerting for a teacher if the Principal alerts them to an issue in their class on which they have no knowledge nor have been given the opportunity to resolve in the first instance. Effective communication with the school is important and it is critical that issues are raised immediately so that they can be dealt with quickly. Never feel that you are complaining. You have a responsibility to be an advocate for your child. We understand that your child’s safety and well-being is of highest priority.

However, in case of emergency parents will be very welcome to meet with the Principal or in the Principal’s absence, the Deputy Principal, without prior arrangements depending on availability.
Allergies (Anaphylaxis): If children at school have a severe allergic reaction to foods, a letter will be sent to the required year levels to inform at the beginning of each school year and periodic reminders will be included in the school newsletter. For some students any exposure to certain foods may cause a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires emergency medical treatment. To reduce the chance of this occurring, we ask that you do not send any products that contain these foods to school with your child that will be eaten in the classroom. If your child has eaten these particular foods before coming to school, please be sure your child’s hands and face have been thoroughly washed before entering the school.
Newsletters The fortnightly school newsletter will be an important way for parents to find out what is happening at school. We will encourage all families to read the newsletter and to forward articles for inclusion. Parents should be aware that some advertising space will be available in the newsletter. Please contact the school office if you are interested in purchasing advertising space. Additional information important to your child will be sent home with him / her from time to time.
Instrumental Music The instrumental music program will be run through the MacKillop Catholic College Music Program. Please see the front office for more information and enrolment paperwork, if you are interested in this program.

Make Every Minute Count!
The morning transition from home to school is the most important transition of any school day. The best learning time for students is the start of the school day. That is when every minute counts the most!!
Getting to school on time ensures everyone has a calm and orderly start to their day. Bags, lunch orders and notices dealt with at the right time. Learning is easier because no-one has missed the start of the lesson. Children are happy and secure because there is a known routine which offers them
structure. Teachers are pleased that learning experiences will be offered to all students in their
class at the same time.
When your child misses on average

Transport Information
Road Safety Whilst road safety will be a topic discussed in all year levels, we will rely upon parents to help us keep children safe on the roads. This will include parents acting responsibly when dropping off or collecting their child/children.
Parent Parks Please read sign posts carefully. The Kiss and Go area operates similar to other schools and will be patrolled by school staff to ensure the smooth and safe operation for both students and parents. Parents are urged to comply with directions given by school staff at all times. Please exercise extreme caution when dropping off and collecting your children. Double parking is illegal and very dangerous, please do not double park.
Parents must come in to the school grounds to collect children. Please DO NOT TELL CHILDREN TO MEET YOU OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL GROUNDS
Canteen Facilities
Canteen The school will not initially operate a school canteen. Parents will need to provide their students with their dietary food requirements for recess and lunch each day. If your child is attending the morning OSHC program then they will need to have breakfast before they arrive school. Similarly, if your child is enrolled in OSHC after school care program then they will need to bring their dietary food requirements for the afternoon session. All children will have ready access to chilled water throughout the day including before and after school care programs. Fridges will be provided in classrooms for students to store their recess and lunch food in clearly labelled containers. We will have FRIDAY ONLY lunch orders that can be ordered ONLINE via: www.quickcliq.com.au These orders will be delivered to the school via hot boxes from the MacKillop Catholic College canteen.

Healthy Eating – School Lunches
School is a time when children start to make independent choices about their lifestyles. School aged children learn quickly and are influenced by friends and popular trends. This is an important time to talk about and encourage healthy food habits. Involving children in planning and preparing their own lunchboxes gives them the opportunity to learn about healthy eating and gives them a chance to make autonomous decisions about what they will be eating during the day. Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School is a nut aware school, please consider this when packing your child/ren’s lunchbox.
Tips for healthy lunchboxes include: Cut up large pieces of fruit and put them in a container – this makes it easier to eat,
especially if your child has wobbly teeth or if they have less time to eat then they are used to. Send a damp face washer to help with extra juicy fruit.
Consider giving half a sandwich or roll for morning recess, as this is an easy way to get a healthy fill.
In the hot weather, send frozen milk, yoghurt or water, or even frozen orange segments. This makes a great refreshing snack and helps to keep the lunch box cool.
Go for colour and crunch in the lunch lox by offering a variety of colourful vegetables and fruit.
There are many websites where you can find ideas for healthy and interesting school lunches.
15
Parent Involvement
Parents and Friends Association The role of the Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School Parents & Friends Association is to participate in the optimum spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of students in the school. All parents and/or guardians of children attending the school, and the staff of the school are members of the association. The P&F committee meets each term, the date and time is published in the school newsletter. All parents and friends are encouraged to attend meetings.

Student Uniforms In the spirit of the vision and mission of our school community, we are committed to be partners with our parents and families in pursuing the wellbeing, learning and character development of our students. School policies and procedures are directed towards the supporting of this goals. The social norms of the school are fundamental in establishing the environment in which these goals are pursued. The school uniform policy assists in creating a suitable educational environment at Mother Teresa. The wearing of a school uniform is a tradition with a significant history on Australia generally, and within Catholic education in particular. It has a strong value as an outward symbol of the pursuit of a common purpose – Education. The wearers of a uniform are identified as members of a particular community; in our case as member so of the Mother Teresa Catholic Primary School community. The wearing of a common outfit promotes a shared sense of belonging and purpose. Uniforms also promote equity in that individuals are not distinguished in terms of their economic or social status – all are valued for who they are rather than what they have. Besides obvious safety issues in some learning activities (e.g. HPE and sports), the wearing of jewellery is discouraged for similar reasons of equity. Mother Teresa’s school uniform will provide the students with a sense of unity and pride and will be an integral part of participating in the life of the school. It will also enable parents to avoid discussions about clothing suitability. Uniforms will be able to be purchased from the School. The school has a policy that school hats are worn by children whenever they are outdoors.
School Hat All students are required to wear their school hat throughout the year at break times and when participating in outdoor activities. The school hat should be worn to and from school. The school has a “No Hat – No Play ” Policy during recess and lunch breaks meaning if a student does not have their hat at school, they are required to be in an allocated shaded location as directed by a staff member.
Jewellery A wrist watch may be worn and a thin gold or silver chain with a cross but no other form of jewellery is acceptable. Students who have pierced ears may wear one pair of ‘sleepers’ or ‘studs’ only.
Hair Hair needs to be neat and tidy at all times. Hair is not to be hanging in the face of students, if hair is longer than student’s shoulders, it needs to be tied back. Blue and White ribbons and acceptable.

School Fees
School Fees
School Fees and Levis are an integral part of Catholic Education Schooling. Catholic schools have fees to help meet the shortfall in Government Funding. The reasonable fee structure is essential for Catholic schools to operate and provide the high-quality education, quality leaning environments, and advanced resources that parents/carers rightly expect. All Catholic schools strive to keep fees as low as possible. The term ‘school fees’ includes tuition fees and levies. Each school assesses the school levies necessary to meet their individual school and community operation requirements. In doing this they firstly guided by the diocesan tuition fees set by Catholic Education Services. In keeping with the Gospel values, no child will be refused a Catholic education due to financial difficulty which has been verified by the school. There are discounts available for Multi-student families and for those who have a Pensioner and Health Care Card that are means tested. Please contact the College Office for further information regarding discounts and concessions.
Payment There are several methods of payment available at the school office which include: Credit Card, EFTPOS, Cash (correct value) as well as Direct Debit and Online banking. Statements will be issued at the beginning of Term 1. Families have the option to pay in full during Term 1 and receive a 5% discount on tuition fees. Another option is to enter a payment plan agreement and pay by regular instalments. A failure to organise payment plans may lead to an overdue notice and fees recovery notes from an external finance manager. All costs associated with the collection of overdue accounts but not limited to professional collection costs, legal fees and disbursements will be recoverable by the school in addition to the overdue amount and any interest charged. This can cause upset; however, we have a responsibility at the school to manage budgets
If at any stage fees present a problem please consult with the Principal.
