This is our school, let peace be found here,
May the rooms be full of happiness,
Let love abide, love for one another, the love of life itself,
Oo-oo-oo-ooh and the love of God.
Everybody knows that many hands are needed, if you want to build a house,
But to build a good school, there’s a very simple rule,
What you need isn’t hands but hearts, so Lord a blessing we ask of you.

Let love abide, love for one another, the love of life itself,
Oo-oo-oo-ooh and the love of God.
Everyone is special and everyone’s important in Our Lady of the Rosary School,
Doesn’t matter at all if you’re big or small,
Being fair to each other that’s the rule, so Lord a blessing we ask of you.
This is our school, let peace be found here,
May the rooms be full of happiness,
Let love abide, love for one another, the love of life itself,

Just like the river flowing to the ocean, we are flowing into God,
So let peace be the way as we live and work today, as we wander in the track you have trod, yes Lord a blessing we ask of you.
