Work In Progress



CHORUS:


Receiving strength, I will arise

To show forth that above all else

The honor of my school I prize (x2)

Traditions long cherished; ideals here taught

Of love, truth and service, rewards e’er unsought

Are a trust so sacred that always I’ll strive

To build up a character which must keep alive.

This bright lamp - for ......


CHORUS


Great God of the universe, grant unto me

The Crest


From the College of Arms, London, we have obtained the following complete authentic description:

It is a combination of the crests of Archdeacon Barnes, our founder, on the left side, and that of his wife, who belonged to the Carnac family, on the right. On the left side is the green shield with the faces of three white leopards and on the right, four quarters alternately yellow and green with crossed swords, three, five-pointed stars and a crescent. The swords are in their natural steel colour with the points upward. The stars are green over the yellow quarters and green over the yellow. Similarly, the crescent is green and yellow. The bird is the white falcon with a golden beak and legs. It is standing on a green mount with six alternate twists of green and yellow underneath.

The motto Accepto Robore Surgam, in Latin, can be translated, "I shall arise with the strength I have received." This has a three-fold significance. In our school days and after, we rise to even greater heights, fortified with the strength of the body, mind and spirit which we have gained while in a school.
