The School Song

We are building, we are building,
Shaping substance from a dream;
Side by side from many nations,
We unfold a vaster theme.
That this world shall be a homeland
Where the people great and small
Bring their glory and their treasure
All for each and each for all.
-----------------------------
As the river to the desert,
So our springs shall flood the earth;
Day by day we build the future,
Dreams that time must bring to birth.
What the weary lands are seeking
Here is built for all to see;
Here to-morrow's world is founded
On the rock of Unity.
-----------------------------
We are building, we are building,
True and faithful to the plan;
Working out the master pattern
For the joy of God and man.
In the gladness of our morning
We will speed the task begun,
Handing on to those who follow
That the nations may be one.


Sadly, as with much else from the history of Unity High School, we now no longer have the music to go with these words.

    I remember this song well and know the tune by heart. Problem is I can't write or play music, but can work with someone who does to reconstruct it.

    It would be wonderful if you could do that :) We would all be very grateful to once more hear this song as it should be. Is there some way that you would be able to do this?

    Come on girl please. Sing it to someone who knows music. Unity needs this song back. Thanks

An Email Received from Razan Elshazili of @womenofsudan Instagram Account - 5th August 2020

Hello,   Hope you are well. My name is Razan Elshazali, and I'm the owner of @womenofsudan on Instagram. I used to go to Unity High School as a student, however, I do not think we ever crossed paths. I just wanted to thank you infinitely for your work on the UHS archives. It makes me so happy knowing our vast visual history is preserved, digitalised and easily accessible. I use the website regularly to find content for my page and future website, so I really just wanted to contact you to let you know, on behalf of everyone that has ever attended Unity, that we appreciate your efforts immensely! Thank you for your dedication and for your time. Reply from Steve Gooch: Dear Razan, Thank you so much for your email which is very much appreciated. The Unity High School Archive has been a labour of love for many years now, though somewhat silent in recent years. I am glad that you find it to be of use. There are other materials still to be posted to the Archive that have been collected ov...

An Email Exchange Between the Principal Dr Marina Hitchen and the Ex-Trustee Rev. Charles Bonsall - March to May 2011

The following is an email exchange between the Principal; Dr. Marina Hitchen and the former school Trustee Charles Bonsall. Although it was originally decided to honour the request of Charles Bonsall not to publish his correspondence in full so as to protect Pat Clague's reputation, this decision was reversed when it was discovered that Bonsall's testimony could not be fully relied upon and that he had lied over his signing of the 1995 Trustee appointing letter, which can be found here: A Letter Purporting to be From a Meeting of the Trustees in Which New Trustees Were Appointed - 7th June 1995 . Any future correspondence between Dr Marina and Charles Bonsall will be added here as it becomes available. Dear Sir, I thought you would like to look at the archive file we have set up for Unity High School and its history. I know you have all worked very hard to preserve documents in Durham University but they are not accessible to all those interested in the school. Here is the link...
