135 Years of History Since 1890
Our School Song
We are gaining understanding
as we travel on life’s way;
All experience is our teacher,
giving lessons day by day.
List to the legend’ry,
‘Quanti est sapere.’
‘Quanti est sapere.’
‘How great is wisdom.’
From experience in the classroom,
in the home or in the street,
On the sportsfield or on stage,
wisdom comes from all we meet.
Life is an enabling process,
and the prize that we may hold.
Is our share of understanding,
more to be desired than gold.
