Welcome to St Therese Catholic School & Christ the King Parish, Badili. We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant and dynamic school community. Our resolute team of dedicated educators is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and stimulating learning environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

At St. Therese, we believe in fostering a holistic education that not only focuses on academic excellence but also on the personal growth and character development of each student. Our curriculum is designed to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning, while our extracurricular activities offer opportunities for students to explore their interests and talents.

We encourage open communication and collaboration between home and school, as we believe that a strong partnership with parents is essential to the success of our students. We invite you to actively participate in school events, parent-teacher meetings, and volunteer opportunities, and to stay engaged with your child's educational journey.

As we embark on this new school year, we are confident that, together, we can create a nurturing and enriching environment that empowers our students to achieve their full potential and become responsible, compassionate, and successful individuals. The school 100 Years centenary launch was on the 8th of November 2025, and we are proud to announce the preparations to this momentous occasion which will be celebrated in 2027.

We look forward to everyone’s participation and encourage parents to be actively involved in your child's education.
