Principal’s Welcome

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

It is with great joy and anticipation that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Mother Teresa Catholic College.

I am deeply honoured to join this vibrant and faith-filled community, and I look forward to partnering with you in the shared mission of nurturing your children’s growth, learning, and spiritual development.

As a parent myself, I appreciate the trust and hope you place in our college. My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Mother Teresa Catholic College community. My son and daughter are eager to embark on this new chapter alongside your children. We look forward to contributing to and celebrating the unique spirit that defines this wonderful school.

My journey in education spans over three decades, with experiences that have shaped my commitment to fostering inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning environments. Originally from Perth, I began my catholic teaching career at Mercy College in Mirrabooka before moving to New South Wales to serve as Deputy Principal at St Edward’s College. For the past three years, I have been privileged to be the principal at St Augustine’s College, a Kindergarten to Year 12 Catholic College in Victoria. I am excited to return to Perth and bring my experiences and enthusiasm to Mother Teresa Catholic College.

What drew me to this role is the College’s deep commitment to Gospel values and its focus on creating a community where every student is known, valued, and encouraged to achieve their full potential. Mother Teresa’s inspiring legacy of service, compassion, and faith is a powerful foundation, and I am committed to ensuring her spirit continues to guide our shared journey.

In the weeks and months ahead, I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your hopes and aspirations for your children and our college. Together with the exceptional staff and leadership team, I am dedicated to building on the college’s strong traditions while exploring opportunities for growth and excellence.

Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am confident that, with your support, we will continue to make Mother Teresa Catholic College a place of inspiration, achievement, and faith for all.

Mr Jay Sutton

Principal
