School Prayer and Acknowledgement of Country

OUR SCHOOL PRAYER

God Our Father

We praise and thank you
For the gift of your life and love.
May we listen to your Word
And grow in love for each other.
Help us in our school community
To walk in your Peace and Joy.
We make our prayer with Jesus.

Amen

  

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

As we gather here today let us pause to acknowledge the Dharawal people, the traditional custodians of this land who have performed age-old ceremonies of storytelling, music, dance, celebration, and renewal here for generations.

Let us acknowledge this living culture and its unique role in the life of Australia today.

Let us acknowledge our elders past, present and future and pay respects to those who have and still do guide us with their wisdom.
