School Traditions

School Song

[edit]
Afrikaans English
Kom laat ons almal same ons hoërskool besing;

En aan die manne van welleer,
verdiende hulde bring

Ons skool uit nood gebore,
die eerste in ons land,
wat in behoeftes kan voorsien;
van brein en oog en hand

Hoe nederig was jou wording,
hoe het jy nie gegroei
van swartkops-oewer vloedbedreig
om teen die bult te bloei

Met christen ideale en diens as hoogste lus,
het jy ons vir die lewe,

Volkome Toegerus!!!

Come let us praise our highschool together

and the to men who have left
give honour

Our chool born out of crisis
the first in our country
which can provide in the needs
of the brain, the eye and hands

how humble was your beginning
how did you grow
from Swartkops shore, threatened with flood
to bloom on the hill

with christian ideals and duty as highest desire
you made us for life:

Fully Prepared!
