School Prayer We remember St Bernard of Clairvaux who was a man who loved to learn and who became a leader in the Church. We thank all the principals, teachers, students and parents who have made Clairvaux the wonderful place it is today. We pray that the Clairvaux community this year will follow the way of Jesus. May Jesus help us to: love others, be kind to others and to forgive others. We ask this through Christ our Lord
