St Georges' College Parable
Now, there was a school
That didn't suffer a fool
A.M.D.G
What it meant for me
At least 90 years of teaching..........
And it showed.........
The gentlemanly maths teacher.......
Welcomed me,
with kindly eyes
Friendly smile
What can I say.....
Vainona............
A world away
Men for others.........
How true........
They meant it to.....
There is order and discipline
Self respect
All the values and more.........
I did detect
A sense of pride...........
Belonging too
Wearing the red........
Casting aside.........
The Vainona blue
A sense of history and duty,
of boys gone on before
All these things ,I saw
That sense of brotherhood,
what it did for me..............
All these things I see
All these things I see
All these things I can be
In a school.......
Valued...
As it should
When things fall into place.......
A ready smile
A kindly face
A genuine interest in what,
You can achieve
All these things
I came to believe
ST Georges
Men for others
The values it forges
The kindness of the brothers
So endeth the lesson,
when you are valued,
not vilified,
your self worth accrued
Your pride........
Men for others
Sets the standard high above.......
Our Vainona brothers
