School Song
In ons soepel lentejare
Word ons vir ons taak gebrei,
skep ons vir ons ideale
in ons eie Parel Vallei.
Dis die skool wat ons so liefhet,
wat die mag van wysheid leer
en ons aanspoor om met insig
ons probleme te hanteer.
In our sport and in our labour
always vigilant we'll stay,
and by word and deed the spirit
of this lovely school display.
Parel Vallei we shall remember
how you tend us in our youth,
how to grow in the art of living
and to flourish forth in truth.
The school song was written by: Mr. J.F Spies and composed by Dr. Guurt van der
Tas in August 1989.
