We are proud to announce that, based on the results of the Grade 12 final examinations of 2016, Herschel has been ranked among the 16 top-performing schools in South Africa in Mathematics and Physical Science.
In recognition of this achievement and the dedicated work done by our staff and girls, Herschel was awarded a Certificate of Excellence by the University of Pretoria.
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
