School Song
A light in its community
St. Martin’s Mangrove takes its place
Its star- studded achievements
From this land’s history will never be erased
Each life trained here is meant to be a ray
A point of light to a brighter way.
Our dreams, aspirations, accomplishments
Extend beyond a building’s walls.
Chorus
Our scholars past and present
An image must project
Of citizens of honour
That bring our land respect
We’ll work steadily, study hard, aim high
And with wings of faith soar to the sky.
A better nation we will build
Using our motto as our guide
We’ll teach and learn together
Seeking God’s wisdom as we journey side by side.
The ideals sought, the values here instilled
The friendships made, the dreams fulfilled
Tolerance, compassion, respect for rights
Embody all our school’s intent.
Repeat Chorus
We embrace with pride the time here spent.
May God always bless our school.
Written by Mrs. Janice Thompson
Former Principal of St. Martin’s Mangrove Primary School
