The School Song
The Cotton's school song was penned by Rev. Herbert Pakenham-Walsh, of the Brotherhood of St. Peter. The words were set to music by N.M. Saunders, Esq. With its refrain "On, Straight, On", it follows the spirit of the School Motto, "Nec Dextrorsum, Nec Sinistrorsum", Latin for "Neither to the Right Nor to the Left".

“Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars—all the beauties of creation.”
