Fairbairn College - College Song

College Song

In June 1980, Mrs Bruwer, Head of Music, was in Salisbury, England with her family. Mr de Wet, the founder Headmaster, asked her to try to find a school song for Fairbairn while she was in England.

One evening she was sitting in Salisbury Cathedral and the gentleman sitting next to her introduced himself as the Reverend Hugh Blenkin. When she told him about her mission to find a school song, he offered to write it. The words were written by the Reverend Hugh Blenkin and the music composed by Mrs Bruwer.

The College song was sung for the first time in March 1981.

    And that song ain’t so very far from wrong.
