'School Song:'

'First Verse'

Lives are in the making here

Hearts are in the waking here

Mighty undertaking here

Up and on, up and on.

We are arming for the fight

Pressing on with all our might

Pluming wings for higher flight

Up and on, up and on.


'Chorus'


Up then! Truest fame lies in high endeavour

Play the game, keep the flame burning brightly ever

Up then! Truest fame lies in high endeavour

Play the game, keep the flame burning brightly ever


'Second Verse'


Foes in plenty we shall meet

Hearts courageous scorn defeat

So we press with eager feet

Up and on, up and on.

Ever upward to the fight

Ever upward to the light

Ever true to God and Right

Up and on, up and on.


'Chorus'


Up then! Truest fame lies in high endeavour

Play the game, keep the flame burning brightly ever

Up then! Truest fame lies in high endeavour

Play the game, keep the flame burning brightly ever
