Academic standing
=School song=
The school song is :
Day by day, in high and low {{pad|5ex}}
Forward we shall go
Forward like a streaming flow
Hand in hand we go
Helping and upholding
Lowly, weak and poor
Whether be it day or night
We shall do the right.
Chorus: Serving and rejoicing
St. Marians' we go
God in man abiding
Before whom we bow
{{col-break}}
While in study or in play
Praying all the way
Watching, waiting in the way
Lest we go astray
We shall render honor
Glory every hour
This the school we love the most
With the pride we boast
{{col-end}}
=Morning Prayer=
Father, we thank Thee for the night,
And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the world so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
To be to others kind and good;
In all we do, in work or play,
To love Thee better day by day
