Gan Eng Seng School - School Song

School song



composed by: Mr R.C. Scharenguivel

In eighteen-eighty five, our founder Gan Eng Seng
Conceived the noble aim for a new breed of men
He started a free school for boys who were poor
To give them a chance to be something more
To teach them to learn, play and live at the fore
To give of their best and say forever more


Chorus


Onward, Onward
Gan Eng Seng for Gessians
Onward, Onward
Gessians for Gan Eng Seng


The story of our school is a history of change
But truth, faith and vigour survived circumstances strange
And true to the meaning of the signs on our crest
A dragon for fire of leadership
And ship for seeking and making progress
In word and deed we vow forever more!
