O Heavenly Father, who has given us Thy Son, Jesus Christ, to be our friend and example: help us to understand His friendship, and to do such things that will please Him. Bless us in our work and our play. Make us gentle, generous, truthful, kind and brave. Keep us in purity of heart, and let the life of our school go on from strength to strength and have its place in Thy Kingdom: all of which we ask through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
