Kevin Bates sm 2003 

There’s a spirit of welcome as you walk through the door.
There's a spirit that says "you belong".
It's a spirit that's born in a time before now,
It's a spirit that we carry on. 

As we
Let our light shine,
Like the sun on the river,
God's light is our sign,
Learning and growing,
Enjoying our school,
St Cecilia's where everyone's welcome. 

Mary Mackillop left memories here­-
Her Sisters gave life to this place.
The story continues as we celebrate
And our gifts grow confident grace. 

Children and parents and teachers are one
In creating a family here.
We know in our hearts we are more than a school,
With one heart and one mind we all share. 

Like the river that peacefully flows by each day.
Our learning and growing flow on.
With the Spirit of Jesus who breathes in our hearts,
We are learning to live a new song.
