We ask all Herschel Alumnae to support their alma mater and current pupils in whatever small way they can. Unlike boys’ schools, girls’ schools and their alumnae associations are not well supported financially by their ‘old girl unions’. We invite you to setup a debit order, make a once-off donation or bequeath an amount to the HAU so that we may support girls through the Bursary Relief Fund and Scholarship Programmes. The AGM minutes and Chair’s Annual Report outline how these funds are used to support pupils who are in deepest need.

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
