【Nikki Nova Archives】

It's the start of the school year and Nikki Nova Archivesmany students are feeling a sense of trepidation and excitement.

So it's no wonder this thoughtful welcome note was given to grade four students at Bowen State School in Queensland, Australia, has gone viral.

The note was posted on the school's Facebook page on Jan. 23, and introduces each item the kids are about to receive in a goodie bag.

"I'm so glad that you're here. Here is a little goodie bag to help kick off the year," the note reads.

"The eraser is to remind you that is OK to make mistakes, we'll work and learn together, no matter what it takes.

"The stickers mean we'll stick together and work hard as a team. The puzzle shows how we fit together, working towards a common theme."

"The bookmark is to show you, you always have a place. If you ever feel lost, we'll help you find your space. The smarties are to remind you how smart I think you are," the note continues.

"Work hard and do your best. Remember to aim far!"

The note isn't the teacher's original writing, however. It's a poem slightly adapted from the internet, the school's acting principal Jemille Malouf told Mamamia.

But that hasn't spotted the flood supportive comments on social media, where the post's been shared more than 30,000 times.

Proof that a little kindness goes far.
