School song
By Susan Liebert
Verse 1
We have a splendid school
We think it's cool
And we love coming to it (clap hands once)
Here in Bob's Farm
It's a happy place
With lots of space
Whichever way you view it (clap hands once)
Here in Bob's Farm
Where the Tilligerry Creek
Runs along close by
Ibises and Kookaburras in the sky
We love our vegie garden
Which we all work hard in
Here in Bob's Farm…
Verse 2
We have our teachers too
Who help us through
In everything we're learning (clap hands once)
We study hard…
Our uniform of red and green
Makes it easy to be seen (clap hands once)
When we're in the yard…
"If it's to be, it's up to me"
Is what we all believe in
We do our best…
Although we're small
We all stand tall
And we all pull together
Here in Bob's Farm
Our values make the rules
Here in Bob's Farm School!!
Yeh!
