Lord God,

As we come to the end of Term 1,
we pause to give thanks for all that has taken place.

In the busyness of the term, you have been with us:
in moments of success and struggle,
during events and programs in and outside the classroom
and in the quiet efforts of each day.
Help us to recognise your presence in all things
and to carry gratitude in our hearts.

As we now journey toward Easter,
draw us into the message of your Son, Jesus Christ,
that of sacrifice, love, and hope.
Teach us to reflect on his passion with reverence,
to see in his suffering the depth of your love for us,
and to prepare our hearts for the joy of the Resurrection.

May this Easter season renew us.
May it inspire us to be people of compassion, forgiveness, and peace.
And as we take time to rest during the break,
bring us back refreshed, ready to continue our journey of faith and learning.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
