SCHOOL SONG
Beneath the misty mountains That reach out to the sand
We stand up young Australians Proud of our school and land.
In all we do at work and play Though we may travel far,
We'll treasure the days we have to share At our own Bonville School.
We care for the environment And the people of our school
We learn by concentration And obey the golden rules.
In all we do, at work and play
Though we may travel far, We'll treasure the days we have to share
At our own Bonville School
We'll treasure the memories held so dear We love our Bonville School.
