School song

The road unwinds before us
And we must venture on
Towards the bright tomorrow
Which faith and hope enthrone.

   We shan't stay nor linger
We shan't 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're 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.
