Return To School & COVID-19 Protocols

The worldwide pandemic has brought numerous changes to our lives, and this is especially felt in educational circles. Up unto 17 March 2020 our school roll was 860 students, we were challenged for space, but we managed.

School Song

Built on foundations unshaken
Though the winds of change have blown,
Firmly stands our school united,
All its gains our very own,
So the years roll swiftly onward
And our tasks are nobly done;
Now we join and sing together
Per Ardua Ad Astra.

Ever true and loyal,
Striving hard for each success,
We can face the future boldly,
Proudly, as we make progress.
With determined will and effort
With our motto guiding us,
Let us join and sing together
Per Ardua Ad Astra.

We are following the pathway
Laid by those of yesteryear
Who have left behind a challenge,
Bid us take it without fear.
As we leave for those who follow
Trails upwards to the stars.
Joyfully we hear the echo
Per Ardua Ad Astra.

(Lyrics by the late Kathleen Laurie, Former Teacher, The Alexandra School)
(Music by the late Grace Thompson, Former Student & Teacher, The Alexandra School)

School Hymn

Heavenly Father may thy blessing

Heavenly Father, may thy blessing
Rest upon thy children now,
When in praise thy name we hallow,
When in prayer to thee we bow;
In the wondrous story reading
Of the Lord of truth and grace
May we see thy love reflected
In the light of his dear face

May we learn from this great story
All the arts of friendliness;
Truthful speech and honest action,
Courage, patience, steadfastness;
How to master self and temper,
How to make our conduct fair;
When to speak and when be silent,
When to do and when forbear.

May His spirit wise and holy
With his gifts their spirits bless,
Make them loving, joyous, peaceful,
Rich in goodness, gentleness,
Strong in self-control, and faithful,
Kind in thought and deed; for he
Sayeth, ‘What ye do for others
Ye are doing unto me.
