[edit] School song

(In a Changing World)

This world is changing so fast,
And I have to follow.
Few things are destined to last,
Most are gone tomorrow.
So when I leave as I must do,
A part of me stays here with you.
But what I've learned I take along,
To hold and share and build upon.
When there are times that I feel sad,
I'll think back then to friends I had.
Memories will help to make things right.
The answer's there in sight.
So when I leave as I must do,
A part of me stays here with you.
But what I've learned I take along,
To hold and share and build upon.


(I Te Ao Hurihuri)
Kotiro ma haere mai
it e kura nei
Nau mai ki tenei marae
Nau mai ki haere mai
Kia haere matou it e ao
E hurihuri ana e
Kia haere matou it e ao
Kia haere matou it e ao
Kia haere matou ra e
Kaua e warewarea
Nga matayranga o te wa
E hoa ma kotiro ma
Ka nui te aroha
Kia haere matou it e ao
E hurihuri ana e
Kia haere matou it e ao
Kia haere matou ra e
