Anthem
editThe school anthem, composed by Lenisha Munsamy (cira. 1980) remains as the gospel of the school.
"We don't claim to be the best in the world
were just a simple lot of students growing stronger and stronger through the years.
God has seen us through and we know were running a race that will never end.
Crossmoor, we lift our banner high in stages to the top
cause were proud of what we've achieved and what we are.
Crossmoor is growing everyday, together well be one family.
Everybody's searching for the best they can find
were striving towards the best and nothing else will do
all we've learnt is what we cherish deep
forever more well treasure what we have
We shall try to improve day by day
just as our teachers expect us to do
we have faith and hope in our hearts that someday we will reach our goal"
Lenisha Munsamy.
