THE SCHOOL SONG

Words: F.G. Layton Music: J.W. Ivimey "Floreat Reginae Schola Mariae"; Shout the motto boldly, for her sons are we, Nurtured in her classrooms in our early youth, Where we learn to cherish chivalry and truth; Learn to pull together, each one with the rest, Playing up and striving just to do his best. Chorus

This shall be our watchword, "Always play the game!" Sound the old School's praises, trumpet forth her fame. Though the seas divide us, we will not forget That we all are brothers with a common debt. Let us pay by giving, as we forge ahead, Service to our living, honour to our dead. This is what they teach us in the good old School; "Only by obedience may we learn to rule. If you fail, look closely, seek the reason why; Strive and you will conquer, if you only try; Strive, and bear in mind that each Queen Mary's son Will rejoice and cheer you when the end is won." Chorus

This shall be our watchword ... Present, Past and Future in one mighty whole, Shining forth emblazoned on one muster roll; When the call is sounded all must answer "Here!" Voice and bearing showing neither shame nor fear; Pointing to our honour, which untarnished stands Bright as when we took it from our Founders’ hands. Chorus

This shall be our watchword ... �
