Our daily rituals
School Song & Pledge.
Every morning at Cosmos Primary, two short rituals ground the day: the school song Life is Learning, sung together; and the school pledge, recited as a class. Both name who we are and how we want to be.
The Cosmos Primary school song
Life is Learning.
Our school anthem — written in-house, sung at every assembly, and remembered long after Grade 5.
Life is Learning — vocals version
Lyrics
Verse 1
Gathered here, young minds unite,
Cosmos shines a wondrous light.
In our quest for knowledge, we soar,
Life is learning, that’s our core.
Chorus
Cosmos Primary, we stand tall,
Together, we shall never fall.
Empowered in our hearts and minds,
A love for learning, here we find.
Verse 2
In these halls, our dreams ignite,
Building futures, shining bright.
With open minds and our hearts ablaze,
We foster growth in countless ways.
Chorus
Cosmos Primary, we stand tall,
Together we shall never fall.
Empowered in our hearts and minds,
A love for learning, here we find.
Bridge
Integrity, our guiding star,
Openness, it takes us far.
With trust and respect, raise the bar.
Inquiry, learn without a care.
With dialogue, build bridges to share,
Spread appreciation everywhere.
Verse 3
Within our hearts, potential grows,
As every challenge only shows,
The strength we gain, the wisdom we embrace,
We carve our paths and leave a trace.
Chorus
Cosmos Primary, we stand tall,
Together we shall never fall.
Empowered in our hearts and minds,
A love for learning, here we find.
Outro
So let us raise our voices high,
Reach for the stars and touch the sky.
Our journey’s just begun, you’ll see,
Life is learning, feel proud and free.
The Cosmos Primary pledge
The Cosmos Pledge.
Abridged version
We are Cosmos Primary’s shining STARs,
Striving to do our best, to reach afar.
Taking responsibility, for our words and deeds.
Always working together, in unity and peace.
Respecting ourselves, others, and the world around.
To create a future that is kind and profound.
The pledge is a short, deliberate expression of our commitment to the S.T.A.R. Expectations — Strive, Take responsibility, Always work together, Respect. It is recited every morning so the values move from poster to practice.
Through the pledge, Cosmos Primary names what it means to be a responsible and compassionate member of this school community — and a contributor to the wider world.
Extended version
The Cosmos Pledge — extended.
The longer form expands the S.T.A.R. promises into four verses — used at assemblies, prize-givings, and other school-wide moments.
We promise to strive to do our best,
In every challenge and every test,
To learn and grow, each day anew,
With dedication and passion, we’ll pursue.
We take responsibility for our deeds,
In words and actions, sowing seeds,
To grow and nurture a better world,
Where kindness, respect, and love unfold.
We vow to always work together,
In harmony, through stormy weather,
United, we stand, hand in hand,
A caring, supportive, learning clan.
We pledge to respect ourselves, others, and the world around,
For in this respect, true wisdom springs,
Valuing all, with respect we stand,
Creating a future that’s beautiful and grand.
Guided by values that nurture,
Together, we’ll shape a brighter future.
With this pledge, we embrace our role,
In Cosmos Primary, heart and soul.
