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.

  • Proverbs 2:6-8

    6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

    7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

    8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

    James 3:13-18

    13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

    14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

    15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

    16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

    17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

    18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.


  • Psalm 34:1-10

    1  I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

    2  My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

    3  O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

    4  I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

    5  They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

    6  This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

    7  The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

    8  O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

    9  O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

    10  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

  • Proverbs 27:12

    A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

    Galatians 6:7-10

    7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

    8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

    9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

    10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

    Matthew 7:24-27

    24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

    25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

    26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

    27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
