In the academic year 1991 – 1992 the administrative and the student body felt that the school song “Alma Mater” was outdated and a new one in keeping with contemporary students was needed.  A competition was held and a few entries were submitted.  It is believed that Marisha Benjamin composed the lyrics and these were put to music by

Keisha Cruickshank who was learning to play the guitar at the time and was a Fourth Form student.

The result is an upbeat, rhythmic melody that generates a feeling of unity, loyalty and pride in this school named after the the Holy Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

SCHOOL SONG

“Dear Holy Name”

Alma Mater

My spiritual mother

My school forever

Dear Holy Name

We are your daughters

Under your shelter

Sisters forever in joy and pain

We vow to love and honour you

Whatever station or fame.

Cradle of light and love

Guiding us to rise above

For all you have given

For all you have striven

We’ll cherish as home

Our dear Holy Name

Religious sisters and caring teachers

Moulding us scholars

My Holy Name

You avail us the knowledge

Put first things first

Forever upwards,

We dare proclaim

Actions, not words

You’ve taught us

Veritas, let truth be heard.

With Jesus Christ to bless us all

We have one aim,

Strength in unity,

A solid foundation.

Friendships and relations,

Ensure we’ll uphold you

As our dear Holy Name.

Veritas, putting first things first

Veritas, teaching actions, not words.

Veritas, strength in unity,

Forever upwards we’ll be.

Alma Mater, My spiritual mother.

My school forever, Dear Holy Name

We are your daughters

Under your shelter.

Sisters forever in joy and pain

We vow to love and honour you,

Whatever station or fame.

We vow to love and honour you

Whatever station or fame.
