The finest young fellow is Adrian
Whose values are glaringly stark
He loves a good story, and his flip flops too
Fun and focused, an absolute legend
Adrian’s a winner, that’s a done deal
The Ridge School, a place I hold
dear
In which I can thrive and grow.
To learn that I can appear
For this is where I know.
A place of many building
And a place of many books
At The Ridge when I arrive I see
boys rushing to finish the work
they should have done last night.
We are all tired before class
the arduous work
does not help our eyes
And to make it worse
when we go home,
homework’s there to torture
our souls
And if we’re done
yes, if not when we bath, eat,
and go to bed.
And then my head starts tilting.
To the clothes that I’ll be leaving on
their hooks
This place has taught me so much
And I look forward to visiting the
school.
ADRIAN VON KLEMPERER
It’s so late
we barely sleep
sometimes we close our eyes
and then get up
Yet despite all this
I truly am sorry to leave The
Ridge
not since I had to say something
nice here
but because I really will miss it.

Academics and sport are a plus
For Robbie hard work is no fuss
He takes things in his stride
Can view school with great pride
Once your innings is done, Robbie will be
number one
In Grade 0 we all had a ball,
In Grade 1 we had assemblies in the hall.
Grade 2 we played sport against
other schools,
Grade 3 we had galas in swimming
pools.
In Grade 4 some joined the choir,
Grade 5 we were learning to inspire.
Grade 6 we started started making
first team,
And now in Grade 7, we finish the
dream.
And now as I look back at the memories,
I remember the place I learned to fly.

You sprinkle stardust of kindness and generosity
and you make the world a better place.
You are one of kind, and simply the best
Life is a blank canvas and you will leave your
mark
The world is your oyster, it’s just waiting for you
A charming young fella named Matt
when he’s gone, we’ll feel such a loss
he is geared up with his games
and he can match any opponent
like an eagle soaring and will be flying
high for sure
THE RIDGE LEGACY
The Ridge is a special place on Earth
She has given me a strong foundation
It feels like I have known mates from birth
My friends are there for me in any situation.
All the memories will be remembered
But it is time to for the next phase
The teachers are admired
And the boys have been inspired.
I am going to fly high
When the rope at the end of the year is
untied.
