School Song[]

"Out of the shadows of the past you come to cheer us, boys of the old brigade of gallant, CIC. And our thousand voices ring in mighty chorus, 'College of St Mary's on to victory!' Yonder our colors; white and blue are proudly waving. Down on the fields our teams come sweeping crashing through. We're urging them on, they're dashing along, On! On! Fearless and strong. Oh the boys of St Mary's College, Glorious strong. Loyal sons of the old white and blue, Brave hearts and true. Write your name in triumphant story. Onward march on boys of CIC to glory!"
