We Are Grateful
Grateful is not just another word
It is a way of life, an attitude of the heart.
A word that smooths life’s journey,
A word that ignites energy to spark and glow,
A word that heals relationships,
A word that binds communities together.

As we reach the end of the academic year
We are grateful to the Divine Hands
That led us in gracious ways,
With unfailing love, new every morning.
Day after day, mercies were showered upon us
Protecting and guiding us through every moment.

As we reach the end of the academic year
We are grateful to this great nation,
The land that protected and nurtured us,
Helping us grow as one family.
Upon this blessed soil
Under visionary and legendary leadership,
We have flourished and thrived.

As we reach the end of the academic year
We are grateful to each one of you
To every home of mothers and fathers
Who raise their young ones with care and love
And place their precious treasures in our hands
With trust and confidence.

As we reach the end of the academic year
We are grateful to our students, boys and girls
Who journeyed with us through every lesson.
With every question asked
With every fun fact shared
They taught us patience and resilience.
Through every tide, high and low
They have made Merryland an outstanding beacon
Shining brightly across the years ahead.

As we reach the end of the academic year
We are grateful to all our staff
Teaching and non-teaching, management and support teams
Together, we stood as one family, serving many nations
Represented within our classrooms
With delight and genuine joy.
We learned, taught, built, and progressed
Growing stronger together
A family united, humble, and assured.

As we close another remarkable year
Our hearts overflow with gratitude
May we continue to walk forward with faith
Serve with compassion
Learn with curiosity
And grow together in unity and hope.
For indeed, gratitude is not merely a word
It is the light that guides us
The strength that sustains us
And the legacy we leave behind.
