The School Anthem

We Are the
SIRStars

The School Anthem of Shiva International Residential School is sung at every assembly, at every significant gathering of the school community, and on every occasion when the students of SIRS come together as one. It is not only a song, it is a statement of what this community believes about itself and what it aspires to become.

The term SIRStar, which the anthem makes its central image, carries within it the school’s entire vision of its students: bold, free, curious, growing, united. Students who learn this anthem early in their time at SIRS often report that its words become, over the years, a kind of internal compass.

The anthem is sung to an original composition, and all students are expected to know it by heart from their first term at the school.

The full musical score and audio recording of the School Anthem are available from the School Office on request.
The SIRS School Anthem
We are the SIRStars, bold and free,
Striving for truth, for unity.
Learning, growing, every day,
Together we pave the brighter way.

With open minds and hearts that care,
We face each challenge, bold and fair.
Through sweat and toil, we aim to rise,
With wisdom bright as morning skies.
SIRStars, SIRStars, we stand tall,
With courage and strength, we give our all.
With hearts united, spirits high,
SIRStars, we soar, we touch the sky!
In knowledge’s light, we find our way,
Embracing life, come what may.
With every step, we strive to be,
The best we can, for all to see.

From Bilaspur’s hills, we’ll make our mark,
Igniting minds, dispelling dark.
Our school, our pride, our legacy,
SIRS forever, bold and free!
SIRStars, SIRStars, we stand tall,
With courage and strength, we give our all.
With hearts united, spirits high,
SIRStars, we soar, we touch the sky!
Sung at every SIRS assembly · All students know it by heart from their first term
The Words of Each Day

What the Anthem
Teaches

Every line of the SIRS anthem was written with intention. Below are the four ideas that run through it, the qualities the anthem asks students to carry not just at assembly, but through every moment of school life.

Bold & Free
The courage to speak, to question, to attempt, and to lead, without waiting for permission. Boldness is not aggression; it is the willingness to act from conviction.
Truth & Unity
The commitment to honesty in all things, and to the community of the school, to the understanding that we are stronger together than apart, and that the group’s success is each individual’s responsibility.
Learning & Growing
The love of learning as a continuous, lifelong practice, not something that ends when the exam is over, but the orientation toward curiosity and growth that SIRS hopes every student carries beyond school.
Pride in Place
“From Bilaspur’s hills, we’ll make our mark”, the anthem asks students to carry pride in where they come from, and to understand that excellence achieved here carries meaning for the entire community.
The SIRS School Pledge
India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country, and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.
I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give my parents, teachers, and all elders respect,
and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion.
In their well-being and prosperity alone lies my happiness.
