Back to School 2021 – After welcoming the Grade 00 girls back to school on Tuesday 19 January, St. Teresa’s School in Craighall Park were delighted to welcome the Grade 0, 1, 2 and 3 girls back to school on Monday 1 February after starting the year off with online learning.

According to Junior Primary School Principal, Lynne Elfick, while the online learning has been highly successful, all the staff have missed the physical presence of the girls, the sound of their chatter and laughter, and the happy energy that fills the campus when the girls are here!

Along with the staff, Mrs Elfick was on hand to oversee all the safety protocols and welcome the girls back to school. We all enjoyed watching the girls skip off to explore their new classrooms, reunite with their old friends and meet their new teachers and classmates for the year. Despite having their smiles hidden beneath face masks, their joy at being at back school was plain to see in their eyes and their excitement was palpable.

We wish them a happy and successful 2021.
