School Song

School song unavailable

We have gathered from far and near
To strive, to seek and to persevere
In our classrooms must all excel
In sports and games we must do well.

Chorus:
O Henderson we shall always be
United as a family
O Henderson we shall all strive
To live by honour all our lives
Let us gladly join our heart and hand
Let’s strive to make our time at school well spent
That we may improve each coming year
That’s certain comrades never fear.

Let us all work in harmony
We’ll play our part for our community
Labour with our hands with dignity
Help build our Lion City.
