Our School Anthem

The song Columbans carry with them long after they leave the School. Watch it, read the words, and keep the audio close.

The Words

Our School Anthem

Listen to the AnthemTap play to hear it

We sing praises of you St. Columba

Scholars of Columba’s we

Dare to be wise always

Sincere and constant we.

This is our motto that guides us

Through life eternally

This truth we learn in our days of youth

Gives us strength in fraternity.

With glory glows the spirit of S.C.S.

Marking all our efforts with true success

And our Alma Matter seals us as a chosen band

We all work together

for the glory of our land.

We sing praises of you St. Columba

Scholars of Columba’s we

Dare to be wise always

Sincere and constant we.

This is our motto that guides us

Through life eternally

This truth we learn in our days of youth

Gives us strength in fraternity.

Pride in carrying our banners of green and gold

Banners that will lead us towards all our goals

Service to others and our nations good

We all come together in godly brotherhood.

Sapere aude sincere et constanter

Dare to be wise, sincere and constant.

The motto of St. Columba’s School, and a thread that runs through the anthem.
