Begin by finding a comfortable position.
You may sit or stand tall, or lie down if that feels right. Let your hands rest gently — in your lap, at your sides, or over your heart.

Take a deep breath in…
And slowly exhale.
Do this again — in through the nose… and out through the mouth.
One more time, slow and steady.

Now gently bring your attention inward.
Let the outside world soften for just a moment.

Bring to mind one thing — just one — that you’re grateful for today.
It could be a person, a place, a moment, or even a feeling.

Let it rise naturally.
There’s no need to search — simply notice what comes.

As it arrives, pause with it.
Notice how it makes you feel in your body — warmth, peace, maybe even a smile.

Say quietly to yourself: “Thank you.”
Let those words echo gently inside.

Let the gratitude you feel fill you with a gentle confidence, a lightness, and a grounded sense of joy.

When you're ready, bring your awareness slowly back to the room.

Wiggle your fingers or toes.
Take one final deep breath.

And as you exhale, let a soft smile come to your face.
Carry this feeling with you — the gratitude — as you move into whatever comes next.

Now shift to something worth celebrating — big or small.
It could be a recent achievement, a challenge you faced, a meaningful connection, or simply showing up today.

Breathe it in.
Acknowledge it fully.
Let it rise within you like a quiet joy, or a spark of light.

Say silently or aloud:
“I celebrate this moment.”
“I honour my growth.”

Let the peace you feel fill you with a gentle confidence, a lightness, and a grounded sense of joy.

When you're ready, bring your awareness slowly back to the room.

Benedictus by 2CELLOS 

Benedictus is a peaceful and emotional piece of music performed by 2CELLOS. 

The music starts softly and slowly builds, creating a feeling of calm, hope, and reflection. It's often used in moments of quiet thinking, meditation, or prayer because it helps people feel peaceful and connected.

It’s a beautiful reminder to pause, be grateful, and notice the special moments in our lives.

Hail Mary, 

Full of Grace, 

The Lord is with thee. 

Blessed art thou among women, 

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb,  Jesus. 

Holy Mary, 

Mother of God, 

pray for us sinners now, 

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, 

Hallowed be Thy Name. 

Thy Kingdom come. 

Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, 

as we forgive those who trespass against us. 

And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil. 

Amen.

Loving God,
You call us to stand together as one family, united in love and compassion.
Open our hearts to those in need, that we may give generously and walk in solidarity with them.
Bless our efforts in Project Compassion, so that our small acts of kindness may bring hope and change to the world.
May we always reflect Your love through our words and actions.

Amen.

‘Ready in Five’ is a consistent teacher prompt used to gain students' full attention before giving instructions or starting a lesson. 

The teacher stands in a central position, counts down from five while scanning the room, and waits for 100% of students to respond and make eye contact. It teaches students to stop, look, and listen, creating a calm and focused transition into learning.

The Classroom Entry Routine sets clear expectations for how students enter the room after breaks or transitions. 

Students line up in pairs, enter quietly, stand or sit in their spot, and wait with eyes on the teacher before being greeted and seated. It promotes calm, safe, and respectful beginnings to lessons, helping students settle quickly for learning.

The Classroom Exit Routine guides students in leaving the room calmly and respectfully at the end of a lesson or day. 

Students pack up quietly, stand behind their desks, respond to the teacher's farewell, and are dismissed row by row. It ensures a smooth and safe transition, reinforcing gratitude, order, and readiness for what comes next.
