Student Exit Profile Rap
When you’re eleven and you leave our school,
Achieve all these and you’ll be really cool
Yes, these are the things you need to know,
So try to achieve them before you go
Sew on a button, be able to cook,
Write a business plan and enjoy a book
Win our merit badge at least 4 times,
Act in a play and remember your lines
Please don’t worry if ever you lose,
Smile and be happy – don’t blow a fuse
Speak a little Spanish, enjoy a swim,
Hola!, adios, just throw yourself in
Use your manners – say please and thank you,
Try your best in everything you do
Play a small tune on an instrument,
Speak loud and clear – be confident
Yes all of these mean you’ll leave our school,
Caring, loyal and extremely cool
Don’t make do with second best,
Reach for the stars with energy and zest!
