School Song

This is the school song of Broadrick Secondary:^[2]

Verse I:
As youths with might and courage
We will soar with honour and pride
No matter what our race or tongue
We're ready to serve in stride

Verse II:
We'll strive to achieve our goals and more
With passion we prevail
Remain gracious in thought and deed
To victory we sail

Chorus (x2):
Unite as one Broadricians!
We will aim to do our best
Our torch burning bright with the spark we ignite
Forging on with our heads held high
