SCHOOL SONG

Here’s a rousing cheer

For our Convent dear

On fair Johor Bahru

May we be faithful to every rule

To each tradition true

Through weal or woe we forward go

United great and small

In virtue simple and duty strong

Is the motto for us all

In virtue simple and duty strong

Is the motto for us all

Through far we roam

From our ancient home

Our thoughts will often stray

Back to these happy convent days

Where our hearts are warm and gay

We love each dear familiar room

And gaze with rightful pride

At our lofty building on the hill

Where Malaysians sunshine smiles

At our lofty building on the hill

Where Malaysians sunshine smiles

May the good Lord bless

Our sultan kind

Who in peace preserves our town

He ‘throned Our Lady’s image there

Where she sweetly gazes down

God keep us loyal to our friends

Our teachers and our rules

May we bless the day

When we found our way

To our own dear Convent School

May we bless the day

When we found our way

To our own dear Convent School

  1. Is there an alumni for the school? I am an old student now living overseas. I'm interested to renew contact with some ex-classmates.
    Any suggestions?

    2. I have no idea. The song is until "Where Malaysians sunshine smiles" only. Maybe the "Lord" isn't suppose to be pronounce for the Muslims

  7. I have always been proud to have been a Convent student. I finished my MCE in 1970. This school anthem brings back sweet memories and makes me very nostalgic. Going through the lyrics I spotted a few grammatical errors. Please get the person in charge to contact me for amendments.
