School Song & Prayer

Our School Prayer

God, Our Father,
We ask you to bless our school, St. Finbarr’s
and all who work in it.
Help us to live and work and learn happily amongst our friends, so that we will be good citizens of our land Australia.
May we follow in Your footsteps today,
knowing that tomorrow is safe in Your keeping.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen

(Saint Mary MacKillop pray for us.) 

Our School Song
(Words and music by Josh Arnold and the year 3-7 class of 2013)

Verse
Built in the spirit of Mary MacKillop,
is our small school, at the end of the track.
With a long history, in the town of Quilpie,
a place of learning in the Outback.,

Chorus
At St Finbarr’s, sharing in our faith
At St Finbarr’s living with God’s grace
When peace, Truth and Wisdom,
are shining through our hearts,
this school will make us who we are.

Verse
Always grateful, to our family and teachers.
Look out for one another, as we work and play.
If this is our journey, let’s make it together
and let God guide us each step of the way 

Repeat Chorus

Verse
Little did they know, when they hopped off the train
The Sisters’ legacy, would always remain. (Sung quietly)
At St Finbarr’s, sharing in our faith
At St Finbarr’s, living with God’s grace 

Repeat Chorus
Repeat last three lines of Chorus
