OUR SCHOOL SONG – Lift Up Your Hearts

St Michael’s lift up your hearts as we gather here today
Teach us and guide us in what we do and what we say

Welcome to our school
Our place down by the sea
Where the spirit of God is living, loving, breathing in you and me
A place to be ourselves,
And learn of who we are
In a dreamtime history of stories, sun and moon and stars

St Michael’s lift up your hearts as we gather here today
Teach us and guide us in what we do and what we say

We come to live our lives, be the best we can be
With confidence and independence, truth, integrity
Creative minds within us, under blue skies above
Touch horizons glistening listening shores of greater love

St Michael’s lift up our hearts as we gather here today
Teach us and guide us in what we do and what we say

In the midst of it all,
God is holding our hands
And our hearts are connected like shells in the sand
So we dance and we sing,
It’s a beautiful thing to share our lives, a gift to all

St Michael’s lift up our hearts as we gather here today
Teach us and guide us in what we do and what we say

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

We acknowledge and pay respects to the traditional custodians, past and present, of this land the Dharawal people who have long before us lived, loved and raised their children on this land.

We also acknowledge all the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families in our community and acknowledge their deep physical and spiritual connections to their land.

We come together today to learn, to share and to journey together.
