In 1976, the Sisters of Mercy, who had staffed the school throughout its history, withdrew from the Parish.

Parish Priest, John McGrath, takes a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the religious and pastoral life of the school and regularly conducts school and class masses.

Situated in Bentley Park, the school has reached four-stream status which means that there are 4 classes of each year level.

The school has just recently spent a considerable amount of money renovating a number of teaching blocks, establishing a Friendship Garden and the establishment of a state of the art Prep Playground.

There are some forty-two nationalities comprising a well-diversified student population at St. Therese's, most of them second or third generation Australians.
