In the mid 80s, my Dad wrote a lyrics for a song for my primary school – Woodlands -Â with one of our neighbours creating the music. It became the official school song for nearly 30 odd years, and was only recently supplanted. I was trying to remember the lyrics, and found only one document with it left on line, so I thought I ‘d paste it here to preserve it a little longer.
