Catholic High School
海天廖廓 云树苍笼 中有我华中
礼门义路 时雨春风 吾侪托帡幪
猗与华中 南方之强 我中华之光
雄立狮岛 式是炎荒 万世其无疆
人生茫茫 学海洋洋 吾侪当自强
朝干夕惕 日就月将 莫负好时光
猗与华中 南方之强 我中华之光
雄立狮岛 式是炎荒 万世其无疆
迨予庶士 笃实辉光 斐然已成章
膂力方刚 经营四方 前途浩且长
猗与华中 南方之强 我中华之光
雄立狮岛 式是炎荒 万世其无疆
Catholic High School is an all-boys secondary school in Singapore. It is notable for the fact that all students must wear short trousers throughout the school. Long trousers may be worn only on special occasions. In most Singapore secondary schools, boys go into longs in Secondary 3. Catholic High boys find the rule welcome as shorts are more comfortable in the tropical climate. One has written "Shorts give us more room to move about, and are certainly more convenient when we sit, and especially when running ... Long pants are stuffy and inconvenient".
