Singing the Praises of our ex-student
On Tuesday 27th July our College conducted an event that involved some of our past students talking to our Year 10 students about their Pathways experience since leaving Cranbourne Secondary College.
Over the coming months, Cranbourne Secondary College will be launching an Alumni website and engaging past students to help and inspire current students.
One of our very own former students Gemma Rourke graced our stage and classrooms back in mid 2010s. Gemma’s performance of a cover of the song lyrics “Let it Go” originally by English singer-songwriter, James Bay, who also released his single “Hold Back the River”, is just exhilarating. Such an inspiration to all aspiring artists.
Gemma performs this song magnificently showing us all that this school has a rich, deep and varied history of experiences. Enjoy!

Let It Go - song lyrics
From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we’re slipping near the edge
Holding something we don’t need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don’t you be you
And I’ll be me?
Everything that’s broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don’t you be you
And I’ll be me?
And I’ll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we’re living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
I used to recognize myself
It’s funny how reflections change
When we’re becoming something else
I think it’s time to walk away
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don’t you be you
And I’ll be me?
Everything that’s broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don’t you be you
And I’ll be me
And I’ll be me
Tryna fit your hand inside of mine
When we know it just don’t belong
There’s no force on earth
Could make me feel right, no
Tryna push this problem up the hill
When it’s just too heavy to hold
Think now is the time to let it slide
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don’t you be you
And I’ll be me?
Everything that’s broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me
Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don’t you be you
And I’ll be me?
And I’ll be me
