St Therese School is a co-educational Catholic parish primary school catering for students from Reception to Year 7. The school was founded in 1925 by the Dominican Sisters, and since that time has been an integral part of the Colonel Light Gardens Parish, providing a high level of education for parish families from the local area. The Vision of St Therese is to 'Educate and develop the whole child for life in the Church and World of today and tomorrow '. In working to achieve this, our mission is to educate children in the Catholic Tradition. We aim to develop children spiritually, emotionally, morally, socially, academically and physically, and help them to achieve their full potential. We aim to develop a love of learning and provide the best possible opportunities and environment to encourage successful learning. We are a Faith Community modelled on the example of Jesus, where all are called to live in a loving relationship with God and each other .We strive to create a community where people within and beyond its boundaries are cared for, and that respects the dignity and uniqueness of each individual. We are a welcoming and inclusive community where children, staff and families work in partnership. We are a community that enjoys and celebrates life. As a result of the Australian Governments, Building Education Revolution St Therese School completed stage 1 of a revitalisation plan which resulted in the construction of new flexible learning areas, the relocation of an early Year’s learning environment, new student facilities and the creation of a large covered outdoor learning area. Students now enjoy learning in purpose built facilities for Physical Education, Italian, Music, Art and Drama.
