'SINT LUCERNAE ARDENTES'
(Let your Lamps be burning)


'Sint Lucernae ardentes!'
That's the aim of our School!
To keep ever ready and burning
The famous lantern of learning
Make we our rule!
Filled with the sweet oil of wisdom
Pure as the light of a star,
Bravely our beacon is beaming,
Sending it's radiance streaming,
Beckoning afar.

'Sint lucernae ardentes!'
God grant our light so shine
That henceforth the flame of our teaching
Far through the centuries reaching
Stand for a sign.
Borne over far distant lands
Wheresoe'er learners may roam
Bidding the watchful know proudly,
Telling it gladly and loudly,
This was their home.

'Sint lucernae ardentes!'
That's the aim of our School!
To kindle of hope and endeavour
Fires that will blaze and will never
Flicker nor cool!
So we in learning and playing
Known and acclaimed may be,
Worthy our founders' ambition
Nursed in Good British tradition
