Religious Education

Today we celebrate World Teachers’ Day. This year again the theme is “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”.

Teachers serve a vital role in our society; they act as mentors, experts and role models for future generations.

We continue to be grateful for the contributions our teachers have made in ongoing difficult and trying circumstances.

We thank them for engaging in online learning, in supporting vulnerable students, for working tirelessly to reinvent education and for showing great resilience and creativity in their approach to learning and teaching.

Some Year 1 and 2 students have shared why they love their teachers...

We pray for all our teachers who help us to learn and grow in mind, body and spirit, and we ask God to specially bless them.

Gracious God, you gave us Jesus as our first teacher. 

You bring special people such as our teachers into our lives to help us grow in mind, body and spirit.

Give them the resilience, strength and courage that they need to continue to support and nurture their students despite the difficult circumstances under which we are living.

May they find peace and calm. We ask this prayer through Jesus, your Son.    Amen.
