Herschel Alumnae Union

The Herschel Alumnae Union is an active group of past pupils of the school. It is run by an enthusiastic and representative committee that works to foster a continuing interest in the school and its current events, whilst assisting to keep the school history and heritage alive, and facilitating networking amongst friends.

Membership is open to all past pupils of the school, regardless of whether they matriculated at Herschel or not, and entitles one to be on the mailing list for the annual HAU Newsletter, be invited to all HAU events, and be kept informed of class reunions and current events at the school.

Each class has one or more Circle Secretaries whose task is to keep the HAU Secretary informed of news of her classmates for inclusion in the newsletter and to keep the database updated with regard to contact details, name changes, etc.

School Song

We are assembled here in love,
We are united, we care for one another.
The greatest lesson of all is the one
That teaches us to live together, together.

Refrain:
Everyone’s a spark and in the night
Together we make a light, a fire burning bright
Ad Dei Gloriam; Inkosi mayibongwe:
To the glory of our God: this is what we believe.

In times of trouble we support
Our fellows; we are taught to be there for our friends.
And all around us, there will be
That special unity, that binds us all together.

If we come back after many years,
We will think fondly of the things that we remember,
And the friends that we made then,
These will be friends forever, forever.

By Thandi Siebert, Head Girl 1993
