It was a prayerful and joyful occasion that honoured the love, care and faith that mothers bring into the lives of their children and our school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special reflection was shared by Donnia<strong> <\/strong>Khouzame, who spoke thoughtfully about what it truly means to be a mother. Her reflection highlighted that motherhood is expressed in many ways \u2013 through love, sacrifice, guidance and presence \u2013 and reflected God\u2019s nurturing love for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Khouzame reflected that Motherhood is beautiful and deeply meaningful, but it is also messy, exhausting and stretching in ways nothing else is, calling us to live out strength, patience and love each day. In loving our children through the chaos and quiet moments, we reflect God\u2019s constant and faithful love \u2013 and to all mothers, especially those carrying unseen burdens, you are seen, valued and doing more than you realise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Khouzame children added a child\u2019s perspective to our celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alissa in Year 5 wrote, &#8216;One of the most important things you\u2019ve taught us is that when things feel difficult, we can still do it, and that it\u2019s okay to fail, because that\u2019s how we learn and get better\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jude in Year 3 said, &#8216;Thank you for teaching me to be kind and for teaching me how to pray.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pierre in Year 2 added, &#8216;You\u2019re the best mum ever and you make everything fun.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avielle\u00a0in Kindergarten finished our refection and said, &#8216;Mum, thank you for giving me kisses and hugs before school\u00a0and before bed. I love you, my best friend.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
