School Song

♫ Listen

This is our anthem, this is our pride,
This is our school Bedok West,
In the east of Singapore.

This is our anthem, this is our pride,
This is our school Bedok West,
We will be true to you.

This here we learn to read, write and count.
This here we learn to be courteous too.
For school and country, loyal and true.
In blue and white the same we will always be.

(Words and Music by Bernard Low)
