Alma Mater song
Hark! The golden days of dawn in the sky
Cov'ring the trees, sparkling in the seas
Birds are singing in the forest, in praise
Announcing the birth of our Alma Mater Dear
To thee our everlasting love we give
To thee our undying loyalty we plege
To thee our lives we do offer everyday
With thee our future is brighter all the way
Chorus:
Hail! O Alma Mater, our dear Jack & Jill
We'll always remember your love and special care
Thou the days may pass the years come and go
We will remain as always
Forever sincere and true
Hail! Hail! Jack and Jill School
Loyal Children we'll ever be
Trusting in your guidance, our hope is all in these
You make our lives meaningful and pleasant
Today we shout Hurray hurray
Our dear Alma mater
Gift of God foreverbe.
Hail Alma Mater
Jack & Jill School
All hail!
This is KARATE
We use our hands for protection and nothing more
We learn fighting skills not to show we're tough but as our defense to escape the untimely death
We train to be great fighters but not to prove we're the best
But to show the essence of DISCIPLINE, PEACE and HARMONY to all mankind
So that we'll be worthy in the eyes of men and above all in the eyes of God.
