School song (1964)

In years gone by a proud ship sailed, to Austral's far-flung shore. Honour and fame to her mast were nailed, where they'll fly forevermore. Since then in history's Hall of Fame her banners have been found. Endeavour was that proud ship's name, and she was Honour bound.

Chorus: Endeavour, Endeavour, a name carved out in history. Endeavour, Endeavour, our name and aim to be.

And now in years to come we'll strive, to work and live with pride. That tradition we may keep alive with Endeavour as our guide. In school and sport we'll play the game, with success we'll see her crowned. Endeavour is our proud school's name, and we are Honour bound.

Words: Principal Mr White ; Music: Music teacher Miss Denham
