Lake Macquarie History

Wangi School Song - Battlecry

Written by Dennis O'Brien, Wangi School Principal 1933-1939

A school there is
Just by the lake shore
It's name is famed
It's known in every land

So hip-pip-pip, Tra-la-la-la-la!
Hip-pip-pip, Tra-la-la-la-la!
Hurrah for Wangi School

In work or play
We always do our best sir
We try to win
We smile if we lose

So hip-pip-pip, Tra-la-la-la-la!
Hip-pip-pip, Tra-la-la-la-la!
Hurrah for Wangi School
