School Song
Forward Katong Convent
Make our future bright
To achieve our aims
Bravely we will fight
Guide us in our labours
To the Lord we pray
In wisdom, strength and courage
Growing day by day
Solidly united
By our motto sound
Simple in virtue
Strong in duty bound
In duty to our country
Let us steadfast be
Serving it with cheerfulness
And with loyalty
Let us ever noble be
In thought and word and deed
Striving to our utmost
Always to succeed
