This week has seen all classes take part in the national Anti- Bullying Campaign – One Kind Word.\u00a0 We are so proud to see so many acts of kindness shown across the school.\u00a0 We know that this kindness is not just for one week but is demonstrated every day, in every week at St. Patrick’s.\u00a0 This week has acted as a reminder for us all and as an opportunity to highlight the kindness shown in our daily lives.\u00a0 Thank you to all our families who participated in the Big Talk task this week to support our message of kindness.<\/p>\n

CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK PRAYER <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus our Teacher,<\/strong><\/h6>\n
in your love for us,<\/strong><\/h6>\n
help us to develop our own talents<\/strong><\/h6>\n
so that we may become like you<\/strong><\/h6>\n
and lead lives of goodness.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
Bless all learners<\/strong><\/h6>\n
and all teachers.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
May our Catholic schools continue to serve our families,<\/strong><\/h6>\n
our communities and our country.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Help us, through our learning,<\/strong><\/h6>\n
to believe in you<\/strong><\/h6>\n
and to celebrate the life of your Church.<\/strong><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Help us to grow in holiness<\/strong><\/h6>\n
as we grow in friendship with you<\/strong><\/h6>\n
and try to become saints.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
We make this prayer<\/strong><\/h6>\n
in the name of Jesus, our Lord. Amen<\/strong><\/h6>\n
