College Song
Ad AstraWe stand together
Championing change we can succeed
In this world we wish to lead
Passion’s the answer
Giving our souls the strength we need
As we conquer every peak
The lessons we learn the champions’ way
Enriching our lives, determined to grow
Day by day
Let’s follow our dreams Innova
Together we’ve come this far
And with what we’ve learnt we’ll tell the world
We’re reaching for the skies
Ad Astra! We’ll touch the stars
Innova aspire
Let’s be the star for all to see.
In our goals we must believe.
Reaching up higher
Blazing the skies with all our dreams
In nova we will achieve
The lessons we learn the champions’ way
Enriching our lives, determined to grow
Day by day
Let’s follow our dreams Innova
Together we’ve come this far
And with what we’ve learnt we’ll tell the world
We’re reaching for the skies
Ad Astra! We’ll touch the stars
