Hi!!
Paroa School stand up!
Everyone listen!
Listen to our Thunderous roar!
Like the rolling of the tide
The dust is stirred
If the question is asked
We are Paroa School
Respectful and hospitable
Persevering
In seeking knowledge
We unite
We lead
In order to rise
We stand strong
Thriving
To be better than before
Good to stand
Good to fall
Keep going and eventually
Our goal will be achieved
