About our school
St Therese in the Nazareth Parish, is set in a semi-rural area on the Surf Coast. The majority of families at St Therese live in the immediate Torquay, Jan Juc and Anglesea areas.
We are a ¶¶ÒõÆƽâ Parish Primary School that prides itself on a friendly and supportive environment with a unique sense of community where parents, staff, and students value and respect each other.
At St Therese, all learners have the opportunity to inquire, discover, grow, and be Christ-centered.
We learn:
- To be resilient, mindful/calm and self-responsible.
- To do by building positive relationships, problem solving, taking responsible risks, making decisions and communicating effectively.
- To learn with curiosity, purpose, critical thinking and reflection.
- To enquire, develop, grow and discover.
We encourage you to explore our website and contact the school if you have any further queries.
School Tours
Once a month from March to July. Details will be on our website at the beginning of the year
Principal's Message
At St Therese School, we provide our students with a safe and happy place to learn. Enriched by the ¶¶ÒõÆƽâ tradition, we place great emphasis on inclusion, respect, and the dignity of all stakeholders.
Our school is a welcoming environment where everyone belongs and every student is valued for who they are.
Here, learning is more than just an academic exercise; it’s about opening doors to bright futures and helping each child find their path with confidence.
Join us and discover a school where community matters and every family is an integral part of their child’s learning journey.
