Our Morning Prayer
Every morning at St. Arnold's Central School begins with a moment of prayer and reflection. This tradition brings our entire school community together — students, teachers, and staff — to start the day with gratitude, purpose, and a shared commitment to our values.
School Prayer
O Lord, our God and Heavenly Father,
We come before You at the start of this day,
With grateful hearts and willing minds,
To learn, to grow, and to serve.
Grant us wisdom to understand,
Courage to do what is right,
Compassion to care for one another,
And faith to trust in Your guidance.
May our school be a place of peace,
Where knowledge and virtue walk hand in hand,
Where every child is valued and loved,
And every life is touched by Your grace.
Bless our teachers, our parents, and our friends,
Bless our school, our nation, and our world.
May all that we do today bring glory to Your name
And be a blessing to those around us.
Amen.
School Motto
Our school motto — "Per Aspera Ad Astra" (Through Hardship to the Stars) — encapsulates our belief that with perseverance, faith, and hard work, every student can rise to greatness.
Morning Assembly
The morning assembly at St. Arnold's is more than a routine — it is a cherished tradition that sets the tone for the day. It includes the school prayer, the national anthem, thought for the day, and relevant announcements.
