Our Catholic Identity
At Mother Teresa Catholic College, our Catholic identity is at the heart of everything we do. It shapes our values, informs our decisions, and guides our commitment to nurturing the whole person—academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
A Faith-Filled Foundation
Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and inspired by the life and service of our patron, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, our College offers a faith-based education that encourages students to grow in their relationship with God and to live out the Gospel values of compassion, service, and justice.
From daily prayer and liturgical celebrations to Religious Education and Christian service opportunities, students are immersed in a Catholic culture that encourages reflection, connection, and purpose. This spiritual grounding helps them navigate life's joys and challenges with confidence, empathy, and hope.
Supporting the Whole Journey
We believe that education is more than academic achievement—it is about forming young people of integrity, wisdom, and courage who are prepared to contribute meaningfully to the world.
Spiritual Growth: Our students are invited to explore their faith through Sacramental preparation, retreat experiences, social justice programs, and meaningful engagement with the wider Church community.
Moral Development: Through a focus on Catholic Social Teaching, students learn to act with integrity, respect others, and stand up for what is right—principles that guide them beyond the classroom and into adult life.
Pastoral Care: Grounded in our Gospel mission, our pastoral care approach ensures that each student feels known, valued, and supported, fostering resilience and emotional wellbeing throughout their educational journey.
Faith in Action
Our Catholic identity is not just something we speak about—it is something we live. Whether it is through community outreach, environmental stewardship, or standing in solidarity with the marginalised, we encourage our students to be active agents of change, responding to the call to "love one another as I have loved you" (John 13:34).
A Lifelong Impact
As our students grow in faith, knowledge, and character, they develop the confidence and compassion to lead lives of purpose and service. Our Catholic identity equips them with a strong moral compass and a deep understanding of their role in a global community—laying the foundation for a life well-lived.
