School Song
Our eyes have seen the vision Our hands in differing ways
Shall build a peace together A school for future days. CHORUS Sing out, sing out Long may she stand A place of honour In the land Our mind shall give her beauty Our spirit self control Together we shall build her A strong and living soul Our hearts shall give her courage
Our lips shall speak her fair
We’ll laugh at her and love her
Defend her everywhere.
