We come to school to learn, explore and grow. In our small community, we all work together to make a better school, make connections and to prepare for our future. Values of love, kindness, hope and peace help to guide us on this journey.
Our school song, One more step along the world I go, celebrates all that we do.

One more step along the world I go
One more step along the world I go,
One more step along the world I go,
From the old things to the new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
Chorus
And it’s from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me travelling along with you.
Give me courage when the world is rough,
Keep me loving when the world is tough.
Leap and sing in all I do,
Keep me travelling along with you.
Chorus
And it’s from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me travelling along with you.
Round the corners of the world I turn,
More and more about the world I learn.
And the new things that I see,
You’ll be looking at along with me.
Chorus
And it’s from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me travelling along with you.
5.
You are older than the world can be,
You are older then the life in me.
Ever old and ever new,
Keep me travelling along with you.
Chorus
And it’s from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me travelling along with you.
As I travel through the bad and good,
Keep me travelling the way I should.
Where I see no way to go,
You’ll be telling me the way I know.
Chorus
And it’s from the old I travel to the new;
Keep me travelling along with you.
