Gratitude means noticing and being thankful for the good things in your life, like friends, family, or even small joys. It helps you feel happier and reminds you to appreciate what you already have.
Acknowledgement of Country
Acknowledgement of Country
We say an Acknowledgement of Country to show respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—the First Peoples of Australia.
Before our school, houses, or roads were built, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people cared for this land for a very long time.
It’s a way of remembering that we all share the land and that we want to take care of it and each other.
We would like to acknowledge the Jaara people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we are meeting today, we acknowledge ancestors and elders past, present and emerging and commit ourselves to work actively for reconciliation and justice.
All: May we all stand tall, stand firm, grounded in truth, together as one.

Prayer
Prayer
We pray to talk to God. Just like we speak with our family or friends, prayer is our way of staying connected to God. We might pray to say thank you, to ask for help, to say sorry, or simply to spend time with Him.
Centering
Centering
A quiet moment to pause, breathe, and bring our hearts and minds into God’s presence, preparing ourselves to pray with focus, gratitude, and openness.
Gratitude Centering
Gratitude Centering
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.
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.

Bible Verses on Gratitude
Bible Verses on Gratitude
1. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
1. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
Connection to gratitude:
Paul wrote this letter to encourage the early Christians, many of whom were experiencing challenges and difficulties. He reminds them—and us—that gratitude isn’t only about saying thanks when life is easy. Gratitude is a way of trusting God, even in hard times, because we know God is with us. Teaching children this verse helps them see that thankfulness isn’t about ignoring problems, but about remembering the blessings that are always present, big or small. Gratitude becomes a daily practice that shapes their attitude and strengthens their faith.
Reflection questions:
What is something small you can thank God for today?
How can saying “thank you” to God help you when things feel tough?
Who is someone in your life that you can thank today?
2. Psalm 107:1
2. Psalm 107:1
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever."
Connection to gratitude:
This psalm is a song of thanksgiving. It reminds us that God’s goodness is constant, and God’s love never ends. Gratitude begins with recognising who God is, not just what He does for us. Children can learn from this verse that gratitude helps us remember God’s love is like an anchor—it never goes away. Even when life changes, God’s love is steady. Giving thanks keeps our hearts connected to this truth and helps us respond with joy and love towards others.
Reflection questions:
What is one way you have felt God’s love today?
Why do you think the psalmist wanted people to keep giving thanks?
How could you show gratitude to God through your actions?
3. Colossians 3:15–17
3. Colossians 3:15–17
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful… And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
Connection to gratitude:
Paul teaches here that gratitude isn’t just about our words—it’s about how we live. When we allow Christ’s peace to guide our hearts, we naturally live in ways that bring harmony to our communities. Gratitude is connected to peace because when we focus on what we have, rather than what we lack, it’s easier to live with kindness and patience. For children, this verse shows that even everyday actions—sharing with friends, listening to teachers, helping at home—can be ways of showing gratitude to God. Thankfulness shapes the way we act and helps us live peacefully with others.
Reflection questions:
How can being thankful change the way you treat other people?
What is one thing you do every day that you could turn into a way of thanking God?
How might gratitude bring peace into your classroom or family?
4. Philippians 4:6
4. Philippians 4:6
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Connection to gratitude:
Paul encourages the Philippians not to let worry take over, but to turn to God in prayer. He adds that thanksgiving should always be part of our prayers. Gratitude helps shift our focus from fear and problems to God’s presence and care. For children, this means that when they feel nervous, worried, or upset, they can still find something to thank God for. Gratitude reminds us that God listens, cares, and provides peace. It’s not about pretending worries don’t exist, but about choosing to trust God while saying thank you for what is good..
Reflection questions:
When you feel worried, how could thanking God help you feel calmer?
Can you think of a time when you prayed and felt better afterwards?

The Aboriginal Our Father
The Aboriginal Our Father
The Aboriginal Our Father is a version of the traditional Christian Lord’s Prayer expressed through the language, imagery, and spirituality of Aboriginal culture.
The Aboriginal Our Father reminds us that:
God is close – like the land we walk on and the sky above us.
Forgiveness and peace are part of walking together.
We are called to live in respect, balance, and care for one another and the earth.

World Teachers' Day - October 5
World Teachers' Day - October 5
World Teachers’ Day celebrates the humble work of teachers who guide us with patience and care, reminding us that humility helps both teachers and students to keep learning and growing together.
What is a World Teachers' Day?
What is a World Teachers' Day?
World Teachers’ Day is celebrated every year on 5 October to honour teachers all around the world. It reminds us to be grateful for the hard work, patience, and care teachers give every day to guide their students. Teachers don’t just share knowledge — they walk beside us, encourage us, and help us grow.
World Teachers’ Day also connects beautifully with the value of humility. Teachers show humility by putting their students first, by serving with love, and by continuing to learn themselves. Humility is also needed by students — being willing to listen, to ask for help, and to recognise that we grow best when others guide us.
In celebrating our teachers, we celebrate the humble spirit of teaching and learning — where everyone is open to grow together.

World Teachers' Day Prayer
World Teachers' Day Prayer
The World Teachers’ Day Prayer begins by acknowledging the First Nations Peoples as the first teachers of the land, honouring the wisdom they have shared over generations. It then invites people to pause and reflect on how teachers help and bring joy. The prayer explains that World Teachers’ Day in Australia is held on the last Friday of October to recognise that teaching is more than a job — it is a vocation that requires dedication, passion, and care.
The Prayers of the Faithful ask God to:
Bless teachers with love and courage,
Support them as they guide students,
Give them joy when students succeed and strength when students struggle,
Inspire them to shape students’ dreams and futures,
Honour teachers past and present,
And let God’s example shine through their work.
The prayer concludes with the Our Father, bringing all intentions together in gratitude for teachers

Month of the Holy Rosary - October
Month of the Holy Rosary - October
October is called the Month of the Rosary. The Rosary is a special prayer that helps us think about Jesus’ life and Mary’s love for God. When we pray the Rosary, we ask Mary to guide us closer to Jesus. This month reminds us to pray often and trust God, just like Mary did.
The Month of the Rosary
The Month of the Rosary
The Catholic Church dedicates October as the Month of the Rosary. This tradition began because the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on 7 October, a day established to honour Mary and the power of the Rosary in prayer. Throughout October, Catholics are encouraged to pray the Rosary more often, either individually, with families, or in groups.
The Rosary is a prayer that helps us reflect on important moments (called mysteries) in the life of Jesus and Mary — from His birth, to His ministry, death, and resurrection. By praying the Rosary, we ask Mary to guide us closer to Jesus through her example of faith and humility.
The Month of the Rosary reminds us that prayer can bring peace, guide us in our decisions, and keep us close to God.
The One Decade Rosary is a short way to pray the Rosary. We start by sitting quietly, taking slow breaths, and remembering that God is with us. Then we make the Sign of the Cross and think of our prayer intentions — the people or things we want to pray for.
We pray:
1 Our Father
10 Hail Marys
1 Glory Be
This helps us slow down, listen to God, and feel close to Him. At the end, we say a short prayer thanking God for being with us and asking Him to bless us and help us care for one another.
How to Say the Rosary
How to Say the Rosary
The Rosary is a special prayer with beads. Each bead helps us remember which prayer to say next. When we pray the Rosary, we think about the most important times in Jesus’ life — like when He was born, when He taught people, when He died, and when He rose again. We also think about Mary, His mother, who always trusted God and guides us to love Jesus more.
The Rosary helps us:
Talk to God and ask for help.
Say thank you for the blessings in our life.
Feel calm and close to God.
Here are the steps in praying the Rosary:
Start: Make the Sign of the Cross.
First Prayers: Say the Apostles’ Creed, the Our Father, 3 Hail Marys (for faith, hope, and love), and the Glory Be.
Decades: For each decade (there are 5):
Say 1 Our Father.
Say 10 Hail Marys.
Say the Glory Be and the “O My Jesus” prayer.
Finish: At the end, pray the Hail Holy Queen, then make the Sign of the Cross again.
The Rosary is like a gentle walk with Mary and Jesus, helping us grow in faith, hope, and love.
Below are some short prayers that can be used to commemorate the Month of the Rosary and humility in your classrooms.

PBIS Focus - 'Moving Safely'
PBIS Focus - 'Moving Safely'
This week, our Positive Behaviour Blitz at school is all about “Moving Safely.” We are learning the importance of being respectful, responsible, and safe in how we move in our school, inside and outside.
Moving safely means using our bodies, voices, and choices to make sure everyone stays happy, calm, and free from harm when we are walking to a new place — whether that’s inside the classroom, to another learning space, or out in the yard.
One of our most important safety rules is: No running in the junior area.
This includes the spaces outside the Paderborn buildings and near the junior playground. Walking in these areas keeps everyone safe, prevents trips and falls, and makes sure younger students feel comfortable and confident when moving around.
When we move safely, we are showing our school values:
Respectful – We give others space, move quietly, and don’t disturb learning or play.
Responsible – We follow the teacher’s directions, stay with our group, and look after our own safety and the safety of others.
Safe – We walk in the right areas (especially the junior area), keep our hands and feet to ourselves, and move in a way that prevents accidents.
When everyone moves safely, we can enjoy our learning and play without anyone getting hurt.

Ordering Objects
Ordering Objects
Materials: Red, Blue, Yellow and Green Crayon
Line up the crayons on the table in front of the student.
Ask them to manipulate the crayons based on your directions.
For one step directions, say simple things like “Move the blue crayon.” “Touch the red crayon.” or ask them to make shapes such as “Make a T using the crayons.”
For two step directions, you might say “Move the green crayon to the front.” “Move the yellow crayon to second place.” “Move the crayon in first place to third place.”
You can get as advanced as you want, saying things like “Move the green crayon to third place and the last crayon to first place.”
Mother, May I?
Mother, May I?
Here is a game to teach your students how to follow directions and how to ask for permission. Stand at one end of the room and your kids at the other. They take turns asking you questions, such as, “Mother, may I take two leap from jumps?” or “Mother, may I take two giant steps?”
For instance, if your child says, “Mother, may I take three bunny hops toward you?” you can respond with, “No, but you can take 2 bunny hops toward me.” If your child fails to listen, then he can take a few steps back instead. This will help your children learn to ask questions and actually listen to the responses. Whoever reaches your end of the room first, wins.
Instruction Chain
Instruction Chain
Hand out one 'Instruction Icon' (below) per student. (If doing less, they need to stay in order or it won't work e.g., run in place must be first, spin around must be second, etc.)

Child Safeguarding
Child Safeguarding
At our school, every student has the right to feel safe, respected, included, and supported. You should always be treated fairly and listened to, and if something doesn’t feel right—whether it’s bullying, feeling unsafe, or being worried—you can and should speak up to a trusted adult, because it’s your right. We all share the responsibility to make school a safe place by being kind, respectful, honest, and following school rules. Child Safety Officers and teachers are here to listen and help, and together we can make sure school is a place where everyone belongs and can learn and grow.

Consequences happen if rules are broken, but the aim is to make school safe for all.
