Welcome
The SLT or any educator who is conducting the assembly will address the students positively saying Good morning to all. One can start this assembly stop for a moment of silence to be mindful of the present moment. Then make the sign of the cross: “In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen”
Introduction
As you are aware, we said goodbye to the year 2020 and we just started to say hello to this new year 2021. Time passes by but leaves us with memories. Would not be nice to share nice memories when this new year comes to an end. This song we are going to hear now will show us how we can make special memories together.

Reflective Thought
We can have nice memories during 2021 when we love and respect each other. Some of us are born in Malta so their nationality is Maltese, others are born in Italy, so their nationality is Italian. (mention examples of nationalities who are present in your school). This week we celebrated the feast of the 3 kings who travelled to reach their dream. Mary and Joseph welcomed them even though these 3 kings came from different nations. Like Mary and Joseph, we are to welcome and treat people of all nationalities with respect and like the three Kings we are to respect those who will welcome us with dignity in their own countries and lives. This is how we can make nice memories together.
Prayer
Dear God, we thank you for the gift of a brand-new day and a brand-new year. We pray that you will speak to our hearts and help us see that we are one big family. Help us to show respect to all peoples of different nations in our everyday lives and actions.
