Prayer of the Week 

Dear Lord,

As we begin this exciting new term, bless our children

as they learn, work hard and grow together.
Help them to show respect, kindness and appreciation for one

another and to value every opportunity each day brings.
May this term be filled with positivity, effort and joy.

Amen
