School song

School Song (English)

Where proud & verdant pine trees stand like candles on the hill Comes from this fertile region the black gold of our land.

๐ŸŒŠ

Your lovely panorama of pale blue mountain range makes, place of two fine rivers, our hearts to glow with love.

๐ŸŒŠ

From rocks of sandstone kranses was this our school then hewn Mould thus our children, Lord, to maturity step by step.

Skoollied (Afrikaans)

Waar groen dennabome staan soos kerse teen die rand, kom uit die ryke aarde die swartgoud van ons land.

๐ŸŒŠ

Jou skone vergesigte na ylblou bergeband laat, streek van twee mooi strome, ons hart van liefde brand.

๐ŸŒŠ

Uit rots van sandsteen kranse is hierdie skool gekap, vorm sรณ ons kinders, Here, tot volgroeiheid stap vir stap.
