You can sing along to a story of love that began 156 years ago. Happy Annitestine!
Oh St. Anne's College, where boys' joy abounds,
With laughter and memories, an euphoric sound.
In thy halls of knowledge, they gather with glee,
On this Annitestine Day, their love set free.
With books in hand, they walk the halls so bright,
And dreams of the future, take flight in their sight.
Their hearts are filled with glamour, as they learn and grow,
In this place of love, where their passions flow.
The brotherhoods we make will last a lifetime,
And gained experiences that are truly sublime.
On this day of love, your sons have much to be proud,
For they are the future, and they stand out so loud.
So here's to St. Anne's, our beloved College,
May you shine like bright Green, Gold and Blue.
And all your sons cherish this Annitestine Day,
In the warm embrace of our dear St. Anne's College.
