Knowledge takes wing
We come here as tiny tats,
Wearing skirts and shorts,
Our heads were like cups,
And they were empty.
In those little cups,
The school poured liquid,
Of knowledge and beauty.
In our hearts seeds were sown,
The seeds of ambition to achieve.
The day we make our school proud,
The trees will be strong and tall.
There’ll be fruits for all.
Our teachers told us to
fly and fly,
High and high,
Up, up above the sky.
We will go to places distant and new,
The journey of life does continue.
But we take with us the memories we cherish,
And like sugary cakes we relish.
