Gracious God,
We thank you for the love and care of our mothers
and those who are like mothers to us.
We place our mothers in your tender care
and ask you to give them strength when they are weary,
knowledge and understanding when they are unsure,
compassion and kindness when they are struggling
and hearts full of love and joy.

We ask this prayer through Jesus, your Son.
Amen.

If your family are keen skiers, the dates for the 2019 event at Mt Buller are: Monday 19th August & Tuesday 20th August. Kids from Foundation to Grade 6 can represent the school.

On-mountain accommodation on the Sunday, Monday & Tuesday nights will book up quickly so if you wish to stay on the mountain, booking soon is essential.
