The School Song 

While we are boys in School,

We learn our lives to mould

By learning how ourselves to rule

Alert and self-controlled.

Moving ever onwards inspired by glories past

We “ll build a worthy future striving upwards to the last.

In Class and House and School

Alone we are sure to fail,

We must our many talents pool
United we‟ll prevail.

Moving ever onwards inspired by glories past

We‟ll build a worthy future striving upwards to the last.

In work as well as play

Our friends are close at hand,

With all of them to help we may

Uplift our Motherland.

Moving ever onwards inspired by glories past

We‟ll build a worthy future striving upwards to the last.

In India is our pride;

Courageous, just and true

We‟ll serve our fellows far and wide

Here and the whole world through.

Moving ever onwards inspired by glories past

We‟ll build a worthy future striving upwards to the last.
