COLLEGE ICONS - TOGETHER IN FREEDOM AND LOVE
Together In Freedom and Love is the school song and was
composed and arranged by Mark Clement Pollard, Head of Composition at the
Victorian College of the Arts. This song was composed in 2002 and was first
performed publicly at the College Assembly on Monday, February 17, 2003.
The song has three verses and a chorus which celebrate our
College’s cultural diversity, our proud history and school colours, our
confidence in the future, our commitment to peace and harmony and our
enlightenment due to the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The College motto ‘Pray and Persevere’ recurs throughout the
song as the chorus is repeated after each verse.
Together in Freedom and Love
We
come from many places
and sing in one voice,
and heart of our community,
for all to rejoice.
CHORUS:
For we are St. Monica’s,
we pray and
persevere,
and step ahead together,
in freedom and love.
Our past a
road of honour,
paved in blue and gold,
with strength, courage and
dignity,
we live through our deeds. Chorus
Enlightened by the
Spirit,
our future is clear,
to fill the world around us,
with peace
and harmony. Chorus
Written
and Composed by Mark Clement Pollard 2002
