School Song

Probitas Et Fides

O God almighty, we give thee thanks
For our school, the High School Klang
And for the teachers who daily guide us
With answers to questions asked
Onward the spirit of close fellowship
And towards others in friendship and love
May we never be found wanting
The great courage of living and striving
Dear High School Klang
Our High School Klang
Thee our dear Alma Mater
Forward to serve we go now
May we love thee forever more
