Catholic Schools Week
This week we have celebrated Catholic Schools Week under the theme ‘I belong, you belong, we belong’. The brief video below encapsulates the inclusive nature of our Catholic Schools and our aim to develop faith filled young people who will go out into the world and make a positive difference to their family, friends and community.

Rest in Peace - Falmata Wako
Late Sunday afternoon, the school was informed of the tragic death of Falmata Wako, one of our Year 12 students who had recently left the school to attend TAFE. Falmata has 3 sisters who attend John Therry and one can understand the deep impact this has had on our school community. On behalf of the entire John Therry School community, we pass on our deepest sympathies to Falmata’s family and friends and we keep them all in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
The funeral for Falmata has been confirmed to take place this Saturday at 10:00am at St Thomas More Catholic Church, Ruse.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, And may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
The loss of a young life is one of the most difficult things for us to comprehend and make sense of, and can bring back painful memories from our past. The school has put in place a number of supports for our community to cope and make sense of this tragedy including additional counselling support for individuals and small groups and sharing information on how to deal with grief at year meetings. Communal prayer has also been important for our Year 12 students in drawing on their faith to make sense of what has happened. Information was also sent home to parents on Monday on helping children cope with grief and if you are concerned for your child’s welfare at this difficult time, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
We will continue to follow our system guidelines on dealing with such tragic events over the coming weeks and months to ensure appropriate support and guidance is provided to all of our staff and students.
“Recta Sapere” To Know, Love and Relish what is Right and Just
Catholic Schools Week is a special time in the year when we celebrate and give thanks for Catholic Schools. It is a time to give thanks for the wonderful learning and teaching that takes place each day in every classroom.
In our prayer, we acknowledge and thank all who work together in the service of Catholic Education.
On Thursday 10 March Staff joined Bishop Peter Ingham and the Director of Schools, Mr Peter Turner at our Diocesan Education Mass.
Prayer for Catholic Schools Week
Lord Jesus,
You came among us as teacher, to reveal to us the Father’s endless love and mercy. Our Catholic Schools continue to give witness to your compassion and wisdom,
seeking always to ensure that we are all welcome no matter who we are.
May our Catholic Schools continue to be places of belonging and sources of hope and enthusiasm for our young people and their families.
May the work of our Catholic Schools always be guided by the inspiration of your Spirit.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
Amen.

26 February 2016
Dear Parents and Friends of John Therry Catholic High School, The 2016 school year has begun and students and staff have returned with great enthusiasm, keen to learn and enjoy each other’s company on the journey ahead. Every year we strive to meet our students’ and families’ needs in relation to all aspects of school life. We have four key focus areas: Spiritual, Academic, Social and Sporting. Also, many opportunities are made available to the students in the area of Creative and Performing Arts. Parent support is essential if we are to meet our high expectations for the school. In recent years, the P&F has declined. Disappointingly small numbers of parents have attended Parents & Friend’s meetings and Working Bees throughout 2015. In 2016, I would like to improve this situation. There were a few changes in the past two years to encourage a Parent Forum and Consultative Committee which has enjoyed moderate success. However, we need to engage in meaningful dialogue with the parent body of the school in order to foster a more collaborative and consultative approach. The school Annual Parent Satisfaction Survey is a helpful tool but it is always more beneficial to have conversations about important issues and concerns. I would like to invite all parents to attend the first meeting of this school year on:
Tuesday 15th March 2016 at 7pm in the staff common room of the school There are only two formal Parents & Friends meetings each year. The first is the AGM in Term 1, 15/3/16 and the second is in Term 4, 29/11/16 which is the Finance Supper meeting. P & F Funds at present are being kept to outfit our new Gymnasium when it is built.
The Working Bee dates for the year are as follows:
Term 1: Saturday 27/2/16 8.30am – 11.30am Morning Tea and Parent Forum at 10.30am – Chisholm & Ryan Term 2: Saturday 28/5/16 8.30am – 11.30am Morning Tea and Parent Forum at 10.30am - Connolly Term 3: Saturday 20/8/16 8.30am – 11.30am Morning Tea and Parent Forum at 10.30am - Murray Term 4: Saturday 12/11/16 8.30am – 11.30am Morning Tea and Parent Forum at 10.30am – Ryan Please consider making a commitment to attend the P&F in 2016. Your opinions and ideas are very welcome. Maybe you would consider taking on a role within the P&F committee? The Nomination fors are attached with all relevant information for your reference. I am looking forward to a productive year. Please join me in this adventure. Karen Young Principal
