Go Forward
(from Margaret Astill)
Mundella School for ever, may it successful be With earnest students blended in cordial sympathy. In playground and in study let all put forth their might. In healthy emulation their fullest powers unite.
Chorus
Go forward then Mundella Go forward one and all In honour's path press forward Advance at duty's call.
Our good old town has ever her part right nobly played. In freedom's cause her people have strenuous efforts made. Our Scholars in the future her citizens will be, Their zeal and labour bringing increased prosperity.
Chorus
Go forward then Mundella, your daughters leal and true; Your sons staunch and determined shall duty's call pursue. Thus shall they surely further in one united band The welfare of our city and of our Motherland.
Chorus
(taken from the handwritten song book of Annie Palmer (deceased) who was a pupil during and after WW1. Interestingly, in the last verse, she has "fatherland". When I was at school we sang "motherland")
