School Song
The school song was only written in Chinese and there is no official English version available. It was changed in 2001 as some of the Chinese phrases used in the original song were difficult for the students to comprehend. Many of the alumni expressed disappointment with the change as they felt that the original meaning of the song was diluted and a heritage of the school was lost. However, the school went ahead with the change. Further petitions to reinstate the original song were unsuccessful.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
