Almighty God and Heavenly Father, we come to You today as a school to offer our school into Your safe-keeping. We pray that You would lead and guide the teaching and administration staff as well as the children whom they teach.
We pray that this school will be a place of safety and learning, a place of encouragement and excellence, a place that supports those that are vulnerable, that defends the weak and the fatherless and uphold those that are poor and oppressed, and cares for the afflicted and needy.
May this also be a place of adventure and great discovery, a place of learning and creativity, and place of mutual support and encouragement. May each pupil that attends our school develop a thirst for learning, a respect for each other and a deep love of the truth. Lord, there is nothing more important for our school than that You are kept in your rightful place, and we pray that in all things You may be magnified and glorified. This we ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Amen.
