We sing a number of songs at assemblies and important events during the year. Below are words to the National Anthem, Advance Australia Fair, as well as two other songs, the Grays Point School Song and the Grays Point Christmas Song. Both of these were composed and written by former parents of the school Robyn and Peter Mapleson.
Advance Australia Fair
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free.
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia Fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In Joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair.

Grays Point Public School Song
The Future's In Our Eyes
Grays Point School Song.mp3
By Robyn and Peter Mapleson
Starting on a journey that will lead
All of us to find our hopes and dreams.
We know that we're going further every day;
Building our own future, we will lead the way.
Learning to run, learning to fly. (We can fly!)
Knowing we can face the world with pride; (Full of pride!)
Feet on the ground, reaching for the skies; (For the skies!)
Grays Point School, the future's in our eyes.
Learning to run, learning to fly. (We can fly!)
Knowing we can face the world with pride; (Full of pride!)
Feet on the ground, reaching for the skies; (For the skies!)
Grays Point School, the future's in our eyes.
Grays Point School, the future's in our eyes.

By Robyn and Peter Mapleson
There's a Grays Point Christmas in the air
There are flowers blooming everywhere
All the bush birds are singing
For the joy of the season is to share
There's a Grays Point Christmas on the way
The sun is climbing higher every day
May your New Year be happy and we wish you all
A very merry Christmas Day.
