School Anthem
Chorus
Let us march on to fame
Let the aisles proclaim
Till our anthem will dare us to do
Let us onward to win and new laurels gain
Free School for the brave and for the true
Verses
It matters neither how strait the gate
Nor how charged with dangers the goal
Let the tempest rage and fell odds inflate
We'll do it with heart and soul.
When duty calls be it school or state
We'll do it with God by our side
For the sons of Free School don't hesitate
Nor let cool their zeal and pride.
Let us all join in this Jubilee
All with one loud voice to proclaim
Our true loyalty and our consistency
To our Mater still remain.
The school anthem is played at the end of official assembly and on occasions such as Old Frees gathering. Music and lyrics written by G.S. Reutens, a former teacher, circa 1960s.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
