Presentation of 2017 Graduates

Thank you to parents and staff Holly Andree (Head Prefect 2017)

Alma Mater (please stand)

Alma Mater! Our St Mary's, hear us chant our hymn of praise. Your devoted children cherish memories of happy days. Lovingly you led us onward, like a star in splendour bright, Shining on the road to honour, guiding us to Christ, the Light. Here we vow to serve one Leader, marching forth His praise we sing, See His standard raised above us, raised to honour Christ the King. Alma Mater! Our St Mary's, now your glory we proclaim. Always you will be our mother, evermore we'll bless your name. Lovingly you led us onward, like a star in splendour bright, Shining on the road to honour, guiding us to Christ the Light. Here we vow to serve one Leader, marching forth His praise we sing. See His standard raised above us, raised to honour Christ the King. Alma Mater! Our St Mary's, you have brought rich gifts of peace. To our homes and to our Island - may that mission never cease. May God prosper and protect you, as the fleeting years roll by. May we meet to sing together, in our Mother's home on high. Here we vow to serve one Leader, marching forth His praise we sing. See His standard raised above us, raised to honour Christ, the King.

Farewell Mr Ivano Del Pio (MC)
