Welcome to the Teresian Secondary School website. As a small school, the sense of community here is very strong, with each student encouraged and celebrated for her unique talent and personality. Teachers work in a collaborative, encouraging environment seeking to provide each student in our care with the best possible opportunities to achieve her potential not only academically but in leadership, sport, music, art, debating and other extra-curricular activities. Our students consistently achieve excellent results in their examinations. Above all we believe in each student maturing into a young person of confidence, competence and compassion having a keen sense of justice and being a person for others.
As you navigate this website, I hope that you get an understanding of the warm relationships which exist in our school and the wonderful accomplishments of our students and their teachers. You are welcome to contact the school should you require further details or if you would like to visit us in person.

Through our Students’ Council we hope to give the pupils a positive role in the organisation of the school and thus ensure they feel they are listened to and respected for their ideas and concerns and these are both valued and valuable. It involves the pupils in many of the decisions, which are made regarding the day-to-day running and management of the school. Discussions in classes and at the Council meetings help to develop social and learning skills in many areas such as speaking and listening, problem solving and decision-making and the decision-making process.
