School Creed

This is our school,

May all here live happily together, 

May our school be full of joy, 

May love dwell here among us every day, 

Love of one another, 

Love of all people everywhere, 

Love of life itself, And love of God, 

Let us remember, 

That as many hands build a house, 

So many hearts make a school.
