Give us hope and your strength, in the sunshine you fly. White Eagle- our Patron we want to be alike. In gloomy days of despair we did not know how to stand or to walk. It tore the tether, rose from behind the clouds gave us the strength to survive. When we create future projects , guided by lofty goals and hope for each day to be better, It appears from behind the clouds Our school has a anthem. It is sung at all important school ceremonies. Each student must know it by heart!
