Promoting Peace

Prayer of St Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy

O Divine Master, grant that I may
Not so much seek to be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand
To be loved, as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it's in dying that we are born to Eternal Life
Amen

 

Peace can only come about when we learn to treat each other as brothers and sisters and recognise our shared vocation as children of God.

  • When we have the opportunity to represent the school, we have a duty to do so positively
  • We are taught that our actions and words are an example to others
  • We write to public figures regarding topics such as climate change and equality
  • Our Playground Friends use this principle to support happy playtime and lunchtimes
