[edit] School Anthem
Ring out the battle-call of DUTY!
Unfurl the flag of FAITH AND TOIL!
We deem our soul's eternal beauty
A life long victor's worthy spoil
A thousand such are proudly gone before us
To win and spread our School's renown;
'Tis ours to swell with our voices the chorus'
And with our deeds enrich her crown
FAITH AND TOIL conquerless alliance
Where in we clasp human hands unto God's!
In his control find we true self-reliance :
My hand and God's - Whatever the odds
My hand and God's - Whatever the odds
My hand and God's
Evil's onset hold in defiance.....
