About the Business
Welcome to St Teresa's School, a Catholic establishment nestled in the heart of Karori, Wellington. As a Y1 - 8 school, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment where students can thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.
At St Teresa's, we believe in holistic education that goes beyond the traditional classroom setting. Our curriculum is designed to instill strong values and empower students to become compassionate and responsible individuals. We strive to create an atmosphere where every student feels valued and supported on their educational journey.
This week, our Miro and Rimu classes have been exploring the power of salt. Inspired by Jesus' sermon on the mount, where he spoke about being the 'Salt of the Earth,' our students embarked on various salt-related experiments. They discovered that salt in water can make an egg rise, symbolizing the uplifting power of kind words. They also learned that salt can connect ice cubes to a string, representing how our actions and words can bring people together.
As part of their exploration, our students even made delicious ice cream using salt, milk, vanilla extract, ice, and a lot of shaking! This hands-on experience taught them the importance of perseverance and teamwork, as they worked together to create a sweet treat for everyone to enjoy. Through this activity, they learned that they, too, can be as sweet and delightful as ice cream.
In addition to our engaging curriculum, we offer a range of extracurricular activities to enhance the overall learning experience. From sports teams to cultural clubs, there is something for every student to explore their passions and develop new skills.
Our dedicated and experienced staff members are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your child's growth and development. Our principal can be contacted at principal@stteresas.ac.nz, and our office can be reached at office@stteresas.ac.nz. For absences, please email absences@stteresas.ac.nz.
We invite you to join our St Teresa's School community and be part of a vibrant and caring educational family. Come and experience the warmth and welcoming atmosphere that sets us apart. Visit us at our address on Karori Road, number 299, and discover the difference a Catholic education can make in your child's life.
Reviews
"As a grandparent, I always find that the staff, students and parents make me feel very welcome and at home. It is a great school"
"Amazing teachers and staff at this school! Small class sizes, lots of extra curricular activities, and a great general vibe. Because it's a small role size there is so much space to play at the school - no playgrounds or green spaces have been taken over by new classrooms like a lot of other schools - in fact they're currently planning on enhancing their outdoor areas further and add new accessible playground equipment. There are opportunities to do extended learning - they offer extra Te Reo courses through Te Kura, the opportunity to enter the NZ-wide Kiwi competitions in English, Maths and Science, and extra maths competitions through Otago University. They have a dedicated art teacher and art classroom, a school band (with dedicated music room), school choir, sports teams (running club, netball, miniball and basketball are all really popular) and keyboard, singing, guitar and ukulele lessons are available after school. They have amazing school camps for yrs 5&6 and 7&8. The yr 7&8's bus to Karori West School for Technology classes once a week. The school is in such a great location in central Karori - the school regularly walks to Karori Park, Ben Burn Park, the Karori Rec Center, the Karori Library and the Karori Pool. The school recently extended their ratio of catholic to non-catholic students so it's easier than ever to enroll at the school even if you're not Catholic. All 3 of my kids love going here and are thriving in this school environment, and I love that parents are always welcome to pop into the classrooms or email the teachers so you always feel really connected with the school community."
"Great school with teachers dedicated to having kids thrive. My kids always come home buzzing with the excitement of what they have been doing all day."
"My kids love it here, especially under the new principal with new classes and activities, they look forward to going to school each day!"
"Absolutely outrageous. I was shopping at the countdown in Karori when their students banged into me two times and all cut in front of me at the cheakbout while giving me dirty looks. I contacted the school but got a response saying our kids would never do such a thing. Don't send your kids here."
