School Song

How our song came about

Around 1994 our Principal at the time - Colin U’Ren and one of our (musical) parents – Sue Hickey decided it would be a great idea to have our own school song. Catherine Byatt one of our members of staff was asked to help. Catherine wrote the song one evening – Susan & Catherine polished it up the next day and sang the song to Colin. It was a winner

Our school choir at the time recorded the song with the help of John and Robert Byatt and both Susan and Robert accompanied the choir on their guitars.


WANDIN YALLOCK PRIMARY SCHOOL SCHOOL SONG
Wandin Yallock
Sittin' top a paddock
nestled in a picturesque spot
Antique school house
opposite a church mouse
Lovin' everything that we've got
In 1870
local people toiled and built this school for me
to quench my fascination for a total education
we're encouraged to enjoy everyday
I'm glad to be a part of the Caring Wandin Yallock Way.

Education, creation
sport and recreation
You know we work as hard as we play (let's go now)
Art, maths, computer
A Japanese tutor
we're really movin' up all the way
Responsibility and motivation
the big one for us is - 'communication'
respect and integration, with full participation
the list goes on indefinitely
we're glad to be a part of the Wandin Yallock family.

Writing and reading
peer groups gently leading
everyone is valued alike (yeah)
I'm not trembly
goin' to assembly
I even get a turn at the 'mike'
and everyday my knowledges' gettin' broader
let's go and play a tune on the recorder
and if you so desire, you can even join the choir
and sing this song the way that we do
we're proud to be a part of the Wandin Yallock Primary School
