Thought for the week:

Loving Father, thank you for all who are part of our school. Please grant them your encouragement, wisdom and peace.

Strengthen teachers with heavy workloads. May they be firm, yet patient, expecting excellence but forgive mistakes.

May they support their students, playing to strengths, helping with struggles and motivating them to do their best.

Comfort and restore those living under shadows of unhappiness, abuse, pain or fear.

May many find faith discovering their identity in you and knowing your amazing grace in their lives.

Please pour out your blessings upon our whole school community.

In Jesus' name.

Amen
