Let us pray:
Loving God,
As we begin Term 4 at St Lawrence’s, we thank You for the gift of our school community. Bless our students, staff, and families with energy, wisdom, and joy as we journey together through this final term.
Help us to grow in faith, hope, and love. May our classrooms be places of learning and kindness, where each child feels safe, valued, and inspired. Guide our teachers with patience and passion, and support our families with strength and peace.
We ask for Your grace in all we do—may our words be gentle, our actions thoughtful, and our hearts open to Your presence. Let us finish this year with gratitude and pride in all we’ve achieved.
St Lawrence, pray for us.
Amen.
