ST THOMAS MORE SCHOOL SONG

Words and Music: Margaret Glynn

Standing together, side-by-side
singing with one voice
and hearts full of pride
for family, friendship,
learning and love

In our work and in our play
In all we do and all we say
To live in truth and love every day
In our school St Thomas More

Our school is a place of learning
our school is a place of faith
striving to be the best we can be
We sing together now

In our work and in our play
In all we do and all we say
To live in truth and love every day
In our school St Thomas More

To live in truth and love every day
In our school St Thomas More
 

OUR SCHOOL PRAYER

Dear Jesus,

Help me today at school
to show respect to all those who work with me.
To do my best in class
and to play fairly with my friends.
Help me to make this a happy day for myself
and all those I meet.
Thank you for parents who look after me,
friends who play with me
and teachers who are patient with me.

We ask this in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Today we gather on the traditional lands of the Dharawal Aboriginal people. We give thanks to the elders who have cared for this land for thousands of years. We acknowledge and respect the many Aboriginal groups in this area now.
