After these compulsory hours, students are free to add more.School hymnThe school hymn is Youth Undaunted. The lyrics are: Youth undaunted lift up your head, Though a hope and a dream are dead, Soon a new beacon is burning, Hope is forever returning.Lift your head, look around and hear Voices calling you far and near; Voices insistent and ringing, Challenging, urgent and singing.Lift your head in yourself within, Must your heaven on earth begin, Rivers begin at the fountain, As in the valley the mountain.Lift your head, let you heart be filled With the hope that sustained and thrilled All who in past generations Lived as the light of the nations.
