Rooted in Christ's teaching of love for God, self and others, the family of St Teresa's School is committed to developing the values of compassion, service, love and respect in our girls. We aim to nurture and inspire responsible, enquiring young women who strive for excellence in all facets of life. As an independent Catholic school, we aim to provide a safe environment for the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, creative, physical and social development of girls of all religions. We strive to enable our girls to value their own uniqueness in order to develop a healthy self-image. We encourage the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing world and to live at peace within it. We support and supplement the efforts of parents in challenging each girl to achieve the best of which she is capable while fostering qualities of courtesy, initiative and cooperation. Our leadership style is designed to develop confidence, initiative and critical thinking in our girls so that they can become capable, independent and responsible young women, with a strong sense of service to their wider community.
