Principal’s Message

On behalf of our entire community, I welcome you to our new École Mother Teresa Catholic School’s website. Our school has a strong Catholic Christian focus and all members of our school community work collaboratively to assist students in achieving personal and academic success in an organized and safe and caring environment. Our goal is to develop and preserve in each student a sense of self-worth and self-confidence.

Parents are the primary educators of their children. A quality Catholic education involves an alliance between home, school and parish, within a foundation of mutual respect. We look forward to parental support and involvement at École Mother Teresa Catholic School.

We are very proud of our school and of our students. Should you have any questions, please call the office at 887-6371. You are always welcome at École Mother Teresa School.

It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.

...... Mother Teresa

 Safe and Caring Schools

In Red Deer Catholic Regional Division we are proud to proclaim that our principles of practice underline everything we do.  The first two statements in our Principles of Practice support our commitment to Safe and Caring Schools:

We honor our children.
We provide a safe & secure environment.

Our schools are places where all students, staff and parents feel welcome.  Our motto, “Inspired by Christ, Aspiring to Excellence” and our Principles of Practice proudly proclaim that our schools are Christ-filled centres that ensure a satisfactory climate for learning and that we respect each student as a person, unique in God’s creation. 

Our Division has clear administrative procedures outlining the division’s policy on student behaviour and staff discipline procedures.  These are located in Administrative Procedures # 310-314 and can be found on the division’s web site.

 Our division Education Plan further outlines our commitment in Goal 2 Outcome 2.2 “Schools are safe and caring” and Outcome 2.3 “Children at risk have their needs addressed through effective programs and supports.”  We are serious about ensuring our students feel safe at school and are in a Catholic Christian environment conducive to learning.

Each school has student behaviour expectations specific to the needs of that school to ensure a safe and caring environment.  These expectations are listed on each school’s web site, in the school handbook or are posted in classrooms.  Expectations are shared with students at the beginning of each year and are also shared with parents so we can work together to provide all students with the best possible educational experience while in our schools. 

For further information, please contact the school principal, Mr. Maloughney, at 887-6371.
