SCHOOL SONG

Burwood Girls from many lands Striving with our minds and hands, Now as one we proudly stand Not for ourselves alone. Who knows what lies ahead? Different paths we’ll tread, No matter what the challenges We’ll face with all our skills. In studies or in sport, our knowledge Working honestly with courage, In the future we will flourish, Not for ourselves alone.
