Message from the Acting Principal

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

What a very special person Mary MacKillop was. Last Friday we celebrated her Feast Day with the first ever Mass in our new building. It was an opportunity for us to reflect on the number of schools she opened and the people whose lives she touched either directly or indirectly.

Religious Identity & Mission

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Assumption (August 15) refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary being assumed — body and soul — into heaven at the end of her earthly life. It is by the power of God, Mary was assumed into heaven.  Like all beliefs about Mary, they illuminate our most treasured beliefs about her Son. The Assumption illustrates to us the truth about Christ’s promise of eternal life and the resurrection of the faithful.  We gather to show our love and affection for Our Blessed Mother and by doing so we bring glory to her Son.

Visible Wellbeing at TWCS

Identifying Emotions and Just Right for Learning

In all classes across the school the students are asked to express the different emotions they feel across the school day. Many classes have an emotions wall and others use the language and class displays of Just Right, Too High or Too Low for learning. This language is used as a way to help students self-regulate and complete exercises or movements that assist them to regulate. These displays and walls allow students to monitor and regulate their emotions to ensure they are ready emotionally for learning or for them to identify what it is they may need to do to regulate their emotions.
