BOARDING

As we come to the end of another boarding year, our final week has been filled with both joy and sadness. Joy as we celebrated all that our girls have achieved, the friendships they have built, and the memories we have made together. Sadness because it is time to say goodbye to many of those who have been such a special part of our boarding family

Over the past year, we have had the privilege of sharing daily life with these wonderful young people. We have watched them grow in confidence, maturity and independence. We have seen their determination, kindness and resilience shine through, and we have also been there during their more vulnerable moments, offering support and encouragement when it was needed most. We have laughed at their cheeky antics, celebrated their successes and helped them navigate challenges along the way This year, we have also been incredibly fortunate to have Miss Daniel and Miss Gonzalez as part of our boarding team. Their care, dedication and warmth have made a huge difference to the lives of our boarders and to the wider boarding community. They quickly became valued members of the team, and they will both be missed terribly.

To all of our girls, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey We are so proud of each and every one of you and of the young women you are becoming. It is a privilege to share in your lives, to support you, and to watch you flourish within our boarding community at St Teresa's.

While goodbyes are never easy, the friendships, memories and connections we have built will remain long after the summer begins. We wish all of our girls the very best for the future and hope they know how much they will always be a part of the St Teresa's boarding family

As we look ahead to September, we are excited to welcome back all of our girls and hear about their summer adventures. We are especially looking forward to seeing our returning girls as they move up into their new year groups and embrace the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences that lie ahead. We also extend a very warm welcome to the new girls joining us in Main House. We look forward to getting to know each of them and supporting them as they become part of our boarding community.

As we reach the end of the year, we would also like to thank Miss Whitton for all of her support in Main House. Whilst she is moving on, we know that boarding will always hold a special place in her heart, and the girls have greatly appreciated her care, encouragement, and willingness to help whenever needed We wish her every happiness and success for the future

We wish everyone a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you all in September for another happy, successful, and exciting year together

With love

GOLD DofE EXPEDITION

The DofE Gold group spent last week exploring the Lake Distric t and came away with an unforgettable mix of challenge, achievement and breathtaking scener y The expedition had many highs and lows (literally), but the team pushed through each moment together, growing stronger with ever y mile Along the way they were rewarded with spec tacular views from the hills and lakes, peaceful stretches of woodland, and the kind of wide-open landscapes that make the Lake Distric t so special After long days of trekking, the group made the most of the beautiful lakes with the oppor tunity of swimming in many of them By the end of the trip, they’d not only completed a demanding expedition but created memories that will stick with them forever. A special thanks to Mr Norris for taking the time to suppor t the group on the expedition. Josh Year 12

This Week

A reading from the Gospel of Matthew

Who do you say I am

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he put this question to his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets ” “But you, ” he said, “who do you say I am?” Then Simon Peter spoke up, “You are the Christ,” he said, "the Son of the living God.”

Reflection

Over the past year, we have encountered Christ in many different ways: in our lessons and friendships, in moments of success and challenge, in acts of kindness, prayer and service. Like Peter, we are invited to recognise who Jesus is and to give thanks for His presence in our lives.

The end of a school year is a time to look back with grateful hearts We thank God for the gifts we have received, the people who have supported us, the lessons we have learned, and the opportunities we have had to grow in faith, knowledge and character.
