Dear Families,

A Prayer for Remembrance Day

God of love and justice,
today we remember all men and women who died in defence of our country and its freedom.

Help us to honour their sacrifice
through our prayers and actions for peace in our world.

Send your Spirit to help us to let go of misunderstandings,
hatred and prejudice
so that we may grow together as one family.

Guide our steps in the way of peace
We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ,
the Prince of Peace.

Amen.

Just a reminder that if your child’s face is blurred out of a photo, it is because we do not have permission to use their photo in the newsletter, website or the school’s Instagram page. We try really hard to go through each picture individually to make edits. We do not want to exclude students when taking group photos.
