Glen Iris Primary School Song
By Marg Gleadall, 1995
CHORUS:
Shining in Australia’s sun,Purple and gold, we are the ones,We are Glen Iris,We are Glen Iris.
We are always the first to say,
We are proud of our school each day,‘Cause it’s Glen Iris,Yes, it’s Glen Iris.
VERSE 1:
As the school year rolls alongWe’d like to say this in our song,Our school is a wonderful place to beGlen Iris is for me!
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
Win or lose we are proud to say,We believe in honesty and fair play.We’ve had sadness, laughter and fun,That’s why we sing as one.
VERSE 3 (sung by Year 6 at the end of each year):
The years have flown, we must go onTo a new school, ‘cause we are grown.But in our hearts we’ll remember thatGlen Iris gave us a start.
