Everyone has been saying it, that when the schools would reopen the weather would settle. There was some lovely warm sunshine yesterday and these 1st Year students from Rang Dara, made the most of the beautiful day by going outside for some team building exercises.

‘Most of life is routine, dull and grubby but routine is the momentum that keeps each of us going.’ ~Ben Nicholas

Many schools after reopened after the summer holidays. For some children it is a very exciting day and their parents as they begin school for the first time. For others they have made the transition to secondary school and begin a whole new journey there. Traffic gets busier and the sun comes out after hiding all summer! These early days of start up are all about swapping and sharing stories about what happened during the holidays, the places that were visited, the fun that was had and what might have been if the weather had been better. It seems that everyone tried to make the most of the break despite the weather.

It is good to be back to a routine again. Routine allows us to be comfortable with what we have to do and what we like to do. As we begin our journey along a new school year we ask God’s blessings on all of us. We ask God to help us with our daily routine. We pray that we will get through all those necessary things we have to do and also to help us find the time to do those things that we enjoy doing as well.
