[edit] School song
The road unwinds before us And we must venture on Towards the bright tomorrow Which faith and hope enthrone. We shall not stay nor linger We shall not shrink nor fail But hand in hand together Strike out along the trail. Chorus: Head, heart and hand we offer That none will fail the test "Plus Ultra" leads us further Until we are the best. And on our backs the armour Forged in our college days And in our eyes the light of truth This college sets ablaze. Chorus
