Principal's Update

Despite these challenging and unprecedented times, we have continued to celebrate all that is good within our community and draw upon our core values of hope, compassion and courage. 

Students have graciously accepted the cancellation of camps/trips, excursions and large gatherings showing a level of maturity and understanding beyond their years.  It has been delightful to see and hear how as a community we are remaining positive, finding joy in the day to day and supporting one another.

We don’t know what the coming days, weeks and possibly even months will look like but what I am confident of, is that as a school community, we will navigate them together with Strength and Kindliness.

A Prayer in this time of challenge

God of Love, we turn to you with prayerful hearts and with confidence in your loving presence among us now and in every moment of our lives. We stand before you as a people of hope, trusting in your care and protection. May we be comforted by your love in these anxious times.

Generous and Merciful God, fill us with compassion and concern for others, young and old; that we may look after each other in these challenging times, especially those among us who are vulnerable. May your example give us the courage we need to go to the margins, wherever they may be. Heal us of our fear.

Healing God, bring healing to those who are sick with the Coronavirus and be with their families and neighbours. We pray especially for those who are isolated, that they may know your love. Stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow.

God of Strength, accompany all those who serve us with such love and generosity in the medical profession and in all our healthcare facilities.  We give thanks for their continued work in the service of people. We ask you to bless them, strengthen them and guide them with your abundant goodness.

God of Wisdom, we ask you to guide the leaders in healthcare and governance; that they may make the right decisions for the wellbeing of people.

O God of creation and God of life, we place ourselves and our world in your protection and love. May your peace be with us and enfold us today, tomorrow and during the time ahead.
