Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we hold in prayer all those affected by the recent tragedies in our state. We remember the police officers who lost their lives in Porepunkah, the officer who was injured and their grieving families and colleagues. We also pray for the young student who died in the bus crash near Geelong, those who were injured, their loved ones, and their school communities. We give thanks for the tireless dedication of the emergency services, police, paramedics, firefighters, medical staff and all who responded with compassion and courage in the face of tragedy.

In these moments of deep sadness, we place our trust in Christ, who walks with us in our suffering and offers comfort, hope and peace. May we continue to support one another with compassion and keep all those affected in our prayers.
