Let us now with thankfulness

Praise the founders of our School.

Let us now with thankfulness

Praise the founders of our School

For their foresight and devotion,

Some who came across the ocean,

Some Malaysia's own sons,

All true Victorians.

Let us next remember here

All who passed through this our School.

Let us next remember here

All who passed through this our School,

Not one race but one in feeling

For a school to each appealing

That instruction be not all

Nor this School just roof and wall.

Let us lastly pledge ourselves

Ever to uphold our School.

Let us lastly pledge ourselves

Ever to uphold our School.

In our work and in our leisure,

With such zeal and in such measure

That the new Victorians

Match with Old Victorians
