School Song
School of our pride built on the rock
By order, justice and fairplay ruled
May what we dare to learn from thee in youth
Be our guidelight throughout our lives
Refrain: School of our pride we build on thee
Service to others not to self
Consideration for our Nation first
By our examples and not by precept
Show honest labours dignity
Refrain: School of our pride we build on thee
Generations shall come and go
But our pride in you will for aye remain
Maybe not in the confines of your walls
But in Alumni world-renowned
Refrain: School of our pride we build on thee

Foremost! Field House in this School
Field House is our inspiration

Inspiration stirs ambition
Leads us unto better yet
Sixteen only when we started
Now unrivalled amongst the rest.

Those who left us showed our spirit
Standing well the test of life
Brave in sorrow, staunch in service
Field House lessons held in mind
In the face of strife and hardship
Holding on without despair
Their achievements are our glory
Their example is our guide.

Field present the calls now yours
Keep the noble flame alight
The name by which the flame was lit
Shall ne'r die. H. Field for aye

Valiant toils brings glorious name
Keep our glory and spirit
Evergreen and ever bring.

Where is the source of our great joy?
Everyday we bound in joy?
A unique fruit of our ambition
It's striking initiation
Comes from this lovely home of grace
Carr House historical place
All Eaglets let us now rejoice
An exalt Carr with our voice.
2
Of all eaglets none can deny
What pleasures he has thereby
To cheer up our hopeful course
Are provided games and sports
Thus boredom swamped from our way
Never sad but always gay
We heartily thank Vigilia
May he help us for ever.
3
We all are very proud of thee
Something must we do for thee
Youngest yet envied by others
Present boys, let's lead others
Our Old Boys will take charge willingly
Of greater affairs bravely
Thus fulfilling their promises
Helping Carr House in all fields.
4
Great men will from Carr House emerge
Christ from Nazareth did emerge
Glorious things for thee shall we do
We honour that great crest too
Eagle, king to birds of all types
Indicates our place in life
Great was our Patron, Henry Carr
Greater may we be on earth thee.

From East and from West came we
To lodge in thee, royal host
Came to put life into thee
To make thee great is a must
What a house, it shines like as
Diamond among rough stones
We in you shall not be drones
We shall make you polished brass.
2
On the field or in the school
Towards evening or at noon
We shall employ every fool
That school glories may be won
Powell House full of young blood
In the building, in the boys
It shall not be just our noise
But our trophy-tray must flood.
3
See the violet arise
Mustard seed mixed with the swan
Born a leader Powell is
From him, older brothers learn
Neatness, sports and discipline
Beautiful environment
From these our way'll not bend
And our glory never less.
