Anthem

edit

The school anthem, composed by Lenisha Munsamy (cira. 1980) remains as the gospel of the school.


"We don't claim to be the best in the world

were just a simple lot of students growing stronger and stronger through the years.

God has seen us through and we know were running a race that will never end.

Crossmoor, we lift our banner high in stages to the top

cause were proud of what we've achieved and what we are.

Crossmoor is growing everyday, together well be one family.

Everybody's searching for the best they can find

were striving towards the best and nothing else will do

all we've learnt is what we cherish deep

forever more well treasure what we have

We shall try to improve day by day

just as our teachers expect us to do

we have faith and hope in our hearts that someday we will reach our goal"


Lenisha Munsamy.
