Dear Jesus,
Help me today at school
to show respect to all those who work with me.
To do my best in class
and to play fairly with my friends.
Help me to make this a happy day for myself
and all those I meet.
Thank you for parents who look after me,
friends who play with me
and teachers who are patient with me.
We ask this in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Today we gather on the traditional lands of the Dharawal Aboriginal people. We give thanks to the elders who have cared for this land for thousands of years. We acknowledge and respect the many Aboriginal groups in this area now.
