Our anniversary poem

A Poem celebrating 95 Years

Ninety-five years since a dream begun,
Of lessons learned and victories won,
Of doors held open and paths made clear,
For every student entering here.

Long before any of us came,
Others walked these halls just the same,
With dreams unspoken and futures unknown,
Yet leaving stronger than they could ever have known.

And though the world beyond has changed,
With ideas born and old ways rearranged,
There’s one thing time could never remove,
This school’s belief in helping us improve.

A teacher’s guidance, firm yet kind,
Could change the course of someone’s mind,
And though no lesson lasts forever,
The values we learn stay with us wherever.

Here we are taught kindness, a gift so rare,
To listen, to help, and to show that we care,
Because the strongest hearts are not those above,
But those that are guided by compassion and love.

Here we are taught to be aspirational,
To see each dream as truly attainable,
To look beyond the present view,
And believe that there’s more that we can do.

And above everything else, through every test,
We are challenged to always give our best,
Not to be better than those beside,
But to improve the person we are inside.

That’s the gift this school imparts,
Not just knowledge, but stronger hearts.
And not only the success that the world may see,
But the finest version of you and me.

So today we honour the years gone by,
The countless hands that made us try,
The staff, the students, the families too,
Who built this school and gave it value.

However this celebration is about more than the past,
Because the story of this school is built to last.
As the next generation will soon arrive,
To carry its legacy forward and continue to thrive.

And when they walk through these very doors,
As thousands of students have done before,
They too will learn to aim high and achieve,
And to always believe and follow your dreams.

So here’s to the ninety-five years that have gone by,
A place of hope that lifts us high.
And here’s to the future, still untold,
Where new stories await and dreams unfold.

And long into the years ahead
As new girls walk through every door,
The heart of what it means to be a Wirral girl
Will shine on for ninety-five years and more.
