Per ardua ad alta
The prize is worth the pain
Through toil and earnest effort
We reach the highest gain
And while we learn to labour
We will obey the rules
Of our dear Alma Mater
St. Vincent Girls' High School.
For glorious lives before us
We will ourselves prepare
To build our country's future
We 'll make our deepest care
Our wits we 'll learn to fashion
Into a sharped-edged tool
At our dear Alma Mater
St. Vincent Girls' High School.
And when we leave her portals
We often will return
With love and eager longing
Our loyal hearts will burn
And oft in thought we 'll wander
Along the pathways cool
Of our dear Alma Mater
St. Vincent Girls' High School.

G.H.S Centennial song
Lyrics and music by Jeanne Williams Horne
Come let us celebrate, Students of the Girls’ High School,
Young and old, commemorate
A hundred years beneath her rule.
O Alma Mater dear,
You are beyond compare,
We love and honour you,
God keep you in His care.
Chorus
A hundred years of discipline,
A hundred years of excellence,
A hundred years of a firm foundation,
A hundred years of a sound education.
Proud girls and women we,
Ever aiming higher
Onward, upward, flying free
Our legacy will last forever
Raising standards, changing lives,
Charting paths to follow.
St. Vincent Girls’ High School
Where tradition meets tomorrow.
Chorus
A hundred years of discipline,
A hundred years of excellence,
A hundred years of this institution,
A hundred years, what a contribution!
A hundred years of discipline,
A hundred years of excellence,
A hundred years of building our nation
A hundred years------time for celebration!
