St Teresa's School, Ravenshoe
Our mission at Saint Teresa's School is to help parents educate their children and to develop a community of faith, based on belief in God and a Christian way of life. These values are taught by and experienced through the commitment of a caring staff. Together in partnership, the family and the school nurture the overall development of the child, encouraging him/her to attain his/her highest potential.
Positive relationships are encouraged through respect for one another, a sense of kindness and fairness and concern for others. Relationships are further reinforced through promoting self-discipline and personal responsibility in an atmosphere of trust and forgiveness. It is always remembered that strong family values and close communication between home and school create an atmosphere where God's presence is treasured.
