School Anthem
Waar die goud uit donker dieptes
soos ’n vonk uit aarde slaan,
en die vrag van toringwiele –
op teen hoë steiltes staan.
Dáár staan ons skool, trotse gebou!
HTS Welkom! Ons dien jou getrou.
Where the gold like spark of flint stone
comes from out the bowls of earth.
And where the weight of towering wheels groan,
as they strain to yield their worth.
There is our school – one of the best!
THS Welkom! We serve you with zest.
