SCRIPTURE MEMORY
The memorisation of the precious Word of God is a mandatory part of the School curriculum. The Word of God must be sown in our minds and hearts in order for the Holy Spirit to be able to use it effectively in our lives. Our Scripture Memory program consists of nine passages each year, customised for each grade, which are each learnt over a four-week period. A diverse selection of passages are used in a repeating cycle in order to help students learn the attributes of God, the fundamentals of the Gospel and sanctification, as well as the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word. Scroll down to see each of this year’s Scripture Memory passages.

Hebrews 12:1-3
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Luke 2:47-52
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
