What a week!!!!!!  We were given a challenge of writing a song for 100 years of Catholic Education.  We had great fun re-writing the lyrics to ‘Livin’ on a prayer’.  We had a blast researching what catholic education means to us and we looked at education from the past, present and future.  If you feel like singing along here is the lyrics.

 

Verse 1

It started in 1918,

The Education Act made Catholics really keen

For learning, mmm for learning.

We learn about Jesus our Teacher,

He taught how to pray, and believe in the word

of God, mmm of God

 

Bridge

We’ve got to spread out the word of God,

It doesn’t make a difference if your Catholic or not.

We join together, to make a community

For eternity.

 

Chorus

Whoa, 100 years

Whoa oh, here’s to many more

Justice and peace, forgiveness and faith

Whoa oh, here’s to many more.

 

Verse 2

In school we go to first Friday mass,

We give to charity, we prepare for sacraments

in class, mmm, in class.

Each month we have a house meeting

We gather in faith, we listen

to teachers teaching

teaching.

 

Bridge

We’ve got to spread out the word of God,

It doesn’t make a difference if your Catholic or not.

We join together, to make a community

For eternity.

 

Chorus

Whoa, 100 years

Whoa oh, here’s to many more

Justice and peace, forgiveness and faith

Whoa oh, here’s to many more.

Here’s to many more

 

Ooo, we’ve gotta get to 200 years

Are you ready to celebrate let’s all cheer!

 

Chorus

Whoa, 100 years

Whoa oh, here’s to many more

Justice and peace, forgiveness and faith

Whoa oh, here’s to many more.

 

Chorus

Whoa, 100 years

Whoa oh, here’s to many more

Justice and peace, forgiveness and faith

Whoa oh, here’s to many more.

Here’s to many more
