Killara High School has a school song! It was written by Mrs B Davy and the music was composed by Mr L Strait - both former teachers of Killara. In 1972, a recording was made of the song.
The School Song:
In our hearts we’ll always cherish
The school of our young days,
Looking proudly o’er the valley
With its slopes of green and greys.
We’ll ne’re forget our motto
‘Conserva Progredere’
Preserve that we may progress
In our work and hopes and play.
Killara! Killara!
School we proudly claim
We will always remember
To bring honour to your name.
The time will come to leave
The shelter of your walls
But the lessons you have taught us
Will be there whate’er befalls.
So let’s sing about Killara
And the days of green and gold
And the friends and joys of schooldays
In our mem’ries ever hold.
Killara! Killara!
School we proudly claim
We will always remember
To bring honour to your name.
