Our School Mission “To Live in Love” is at the heart of everything that happens here at St Thérѐse. The inspiration for our work comes from St Thérѐse – our very special saint. We hope you enjoy our school song which was written by our pupils using words from our mission statement. The film demonstrates the many joys we experience here every day at St Thérѐse and is our “mission in action”.
Kindness is my only guiding star.
In its light I sail a straight route,
I have my motto written on my sail:
‘To live in love’
