School Anthem & School Creed

The School Crest has a Red Dragon on the left and a Chinese Junk on the right. The Red Dragon represents our courage, endeavour, and the fire of leadership, while the Chinese Junk symbolises our desire for our students to always seek progress.

Our School Anthem:

In eighteen-eighty five, our founder Gan Eng Seng

Conceived the noble aim for a new breed of men

He started a free school for boys who were poor

To give them a chance to be something more

To teach them to learn, play and live at the fore

To give of their best and say forever more

( Chorus )

Onward, Onward

Gan Eng Seng for Gessians

Onward, Onward

Gessians for Gan Eng Seng

The story of our school is a history of change

But truth, faith and vigour survived circumstances strange

And true to the meaning of the signs on our crest

A dragon for fire of leadership

And ship for seeking and making progress

In word and deed we vow forever more

( Chorus )

Onward, Onward

Gan Eng Seng for Gessians

Onward, Onward

Gessians for Gan Eng Seng

Our School Creed:

This is our school

Let peace dwell here

Let there be contentment

Let love abide here

Love of one another

Love of mankind

Love of life itself

And love of God

Let us remember

That as many hands build a house

So many hearts make a school
