School song
04 December 2008
School song including the Old Boys verse


The school song was written by Cocky Wilson and the music composed by Mrs Elsie Skaife. 

Pride of our school in ev'ry heart,
Fain are we all to bear our part,
Singing in chorus her rightful praise,
Joyously we our love proclaim,
Proud of her fair and honoured name,
Loyal and true to her all our days!
 
Altius et latius arbor nostra floreat!
Semper natos nobiles alma mater pariat!

 
Higher and higher we would grow,
Ever aspiring more to know,
Lifting our heads to the stainless sky.
Boarder and broader we would be,
Spreading a boundless charity
Wide to the world as the years go by!

Old Boys’ verse

Here's to the school we loved of yore!
Though we may roam the whole world o'er,
Still do the old affections stir,
Seeing her fame grow brighter yet,
Knowing her deep foundations set
Firm as the mount that shelters her.
 

The chorus translated from latin:

Higher and wider
May our tree flourish!
May our Alma Mater
Always produce noble sons!
