St Therese Principal Dr Michelle Court says the Padstow Heights school is thrilled to have their ‘triple treat’ and that the children are as sensationally similar as they are dynamically different.
“It will be so nice for them all to have their team mate for life,” she said.
“While the twin bond is a unique relationship, sometimes their special connection also has telepathic qualities and we are thrilled to have them in our midst along with our other 206 students.”
With one class in each grade at the school, Dr Court says St Therese is considered a small school but she believes it is the ideal size and with no risk of anyone slipping through the cracks in their learning.
“After all, we are part of something much bigger through Sydney Catholic Schools and are excited to be celebrating 200 years of Catholic Education,” she said.
“We are a Josephite school and part of Saint Mary Mackillop’s legacy to provide a Catholic education for local families.
“For us, it’s about teaching students in a faith-filled environment where the school and parish community work together.
“That in itself offers many benefits to students and sets them up for life since long after they have graduated from school, the community is still there for them.”
St Therese will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Catholic Education at two open afternoons lead by Year 6 students at the school on March 23 and 25, ahead of a mass on March 26.
