Theme Song on Education

(Verse 1)

Open the doors, let every mind join in,

Where inclusion thrives and new journeys begin.

Equity ensures the path is fair for all,

Rising together, standing proud and tall.

(Chorus)

We learn thro' sound, thro' sight, and touch,

Multi-modality means learning so much.

Quality knowledge that lights up the way,

Respect for diversity in all that we say.

(Verse 2)

Voices and cultures, a vibrant, rich blend,

A future of hope on which we can depend.

With open hearts, we grow and we see,

The power of learning for you and for me.
