Almighty God, take my hand and lead me through this day. Step by step remind me that I cannot do anything I wish or do any of it perfectly. Only you are perfect and only with your help can I do my very best. Help me to remember to ask for that help today. Amen.
Our Father God, bless this school. Bless all who enter its gates; bless all who serve here; bless the teachers and ancillary staff, bless the students. May the years spent here be growing years; may the years spent here be learning years. May all who enter its gates learn the love of learning. May they want to go on learning always. May all who study here develop the maximum potential that is theirs to develop. May all those pupils who go forth from here, go forth well equipped to function effectively at their new schools and play their part within their various communities. May this school be a place where young people develop themselves into productive citizens within the world community. Amen.
God, You have made it a rule of life that learning is hard work. Give me an earnest heart to make the best use of my classes at school. Bless my teachers, and give me a heart to learn. Help me to continue studying hard, even when I want to quit. By doing faithfully the things I know I should, may I grow to love my work. If school work is hard for me, help me to remember that You give a crown to those who keep trying. I want to follow Jesus, who always pleased You. In His Name. Amen.
Roland Edwards Primary School
Molding children with life’s tools
Roland Edwards made his name
By his work he gained great fame
Chorus
Guide our school from day to day
Lord this is the prayer we pray
Principals have come and gone
Up salute this special morn
Children reaping true success
In pure knowledge they do dress
Lord equip all teachers now
We your children to you bow
Lead us with your mighty hand
On your promises we stand.
For all in our school we prayer
Guide us Lord in your own way
Together we then achieve
Endless knowledge to receive.
