2015
Marks our centenary,
A hundred year strong history
Of boys dreaming to sail the high seas
And navigating on the docks
Proud men who stand for love, bravery and courage
To face the fears of life
The headmaster of this school is Mr Dastagir,
Who has formed a close knit family of 650 students
Located on the sensational South Bank
And blessed by the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral
This community stands by
Tamesis Suos Ubique Feret
The Thames shall carry her sons everywhere,
Boys stand proud
Boys stand tall
Boys stand brave
Standing by the mast ready for the Thames
To determine where we shall go.

Hello Daniel,
Your imagery is really very strong and you draw upon the ethos of the school well. The final stanza is really very poignant, especially the last two lines. Good job.
Have you considered how each stanza has a different rhythm? Yiur first stanza is quite strict with it’s syllable count – how might you change the other stanzas to reflect this?
