13. In the year of 1892
Our school first opened its doors
And the girls and boys from all around
Arrived in hordes and hordes
CHORUS
Aim high – let your ambitions fly
Always be the best you can be
Believe. Achieve in all you do
And happy you will be
From slates and chalks and inks and nibs
To whiteboards, computers and pens.
You never know what your future will bring
But friends will still be friends.
CHORUS
Our school it is a happy one
For children and adults too
And so it will continue
As each person begins anew
