Organist, Mr Oliver Gilmour
God Defend New Zealand
E Ihowā Atua
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tō atawhai;
Manaakitia mai Aotearoa.
God of Nations at Thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet, Hear our voices, we entreat, God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific’s triple star
From the shafts of strife and war, Make her praises heard afar God defend New Zealand.
College Prayer
Led by Rev. David Smith, Chaplain
Almighty God, who called Your servant Cuthbert from keeping sheep to follow Your Son and to be a shepherd of Your people; mercifully grant that we who follow his example and care for those who are lost, may bring them home to Your fold.
Through Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

College Song
Deum amato, Deo servito
In proud tradition here we stand Inspired by Cuthbert’s holy word, Traditions from a far off land, Illud unum permanet. Mutantur omnia alia.
Deum amato, Deo servito
For we must end our school days here, Sometime to join those gone before, This College, too, by them held dear, Illud unum permanet.
Mutantur omnia alia.
Deum amato, Deo servito
So may we strive with firmer faith, With love and loyalty to school, Forgetting not our heritage Illud unum permanet.
Mutantur omnia alia.
