School Anthem
- As die rooidag se Rooi die grasbulte tint
- En yl teen die hemel die rokie klim,
- Hoor jy vêr oor die veld ons lied weerklink
- En weet ons het Goed Begin.
- As die douspoor verdamp en die leeurikie styg
- Soos ’n lied in ons harte na bo,
- Lê die land se sooie blink in die son
- En die oes is Half Gewin.
- Ons glo voor die aandson sy Goud oor ons strooi
- Sal die somerwolk bloei daar ver;
- En die hemel sy seën oor ons arbeid laat reën,
- En ons sing want die lewe is mooi.
