School Song
Here is the Campus School's song sung often at events and assembly:
O Join together campus students one and all
To build a new and bright tomorrow for our land
With study play and earnest work we'll do our best
Let us together now march forward hand in hand.
Amidst the flowers fruit, and fields of Pantnagar
We think and learn and search and serve each other
With Courage and grace the honour of our school uphold
We will be makers of this school destiny.
In campus school we are one happy family
No matter poor or rich we work in unity
By knowledge gained we dare to shape our destiny
We will be makers of our country's history.
All the challenges that comes we dare to face
Our love and care we'd like to share with every race
From day to day we probe into life's mystery
We will be makers of our country's history
