    The College Prayer is recited at the finish of weekly assemblies as well as during the College's formal occasions. It reflects Wollondilly's Christian views and is included in the front cover of the Student Diaries.

    Our Father in heaven, we turn to You as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, whose love for us reaches to the highest heavens and whose faithfulness reaches to the skies.We thank You for the gift of Your son, Jesus Christ, who in accordance with scripture, gave His own life to restore us into Your kingdom.We are grateful that Your undeserved grace has brought us this far and we ask that You continue to bless this college as we seek to serve each other and the community for Christ's glory.Father, hear our prayer.In the name of Jesus,Amen.
