Wednesday Week 1, Term 1

Loving God,

Bless this new school year and all who begin it today.

Open our hearts to courage, curiosity, and kindness.

Help us grow in hope — hope that sees goodness in each day,

hope that strengthens us when learning feels hard,

and hope that reminds us You are always with us.

Guide our learning, our friendships, and our choices.

May we grow in wisdom, compassion, and joyful expectation for the year ahead.

Amen.
