OUR HISTORY
Delmas High School: A Legacy of Perseverance and Growth Delmas High School did not simply come into existence, nor did it merely evolve from the primary school. It is a story of struggle, perseverance, appeals, and conviction—often with the support of individuals and institutions beyond Delmas. The first Standard 9 (Grade 11) class started in January 1953 at the primary school, and the first matriculation class wrote their exams in December 1954. On 4 February 1956, the foundation stone of the high school was laid by Dr L.M. Meyer, Deputy Director of Education, on a rainy day “there on the red hill.” Construction progressed rapidly, and by 9 April 1957, the building was ready for use. However, the official inauguration took place only in August 1957 during a grand festival—once again on a cold, rainy day. On 9 April 1957, all students, staff, parents, and committee members gathered at the primary school. After a religious service, they marched in a festive procession to the new site, accompanied by the sounds of the cadet orchestra. Following the speeches, everyone explored the new building, enjoyed refreshments, and in doing so, a new chapter in Delmas's educational history was written. By January 1965, student numbers had grown to 510. The first Freshers' Concert was held, showcasing the talents of new students. That same year, the school introduced its new athletics attire at a sports event. On 4 May 1974, the expanded sports complex was inaugurated by Prof. J.H. Jooste, Deputy Director of Education. The facilities included new changing rooms and storage rooms at the pavilion, a separate clubhouse at the tennis courts, four tennis courts, three rugby fields, six netball courts, three hockey fields, a shooting range, and a swimming pool. Plans were also made for a second pavilion and a cinder track for athletics. On 4 February 1977, the school celebrated its coming of age. Many distinguished guests, parents, and alumni—some of whom had attended the foundation stone-laying in 1956—were present when the headmaster unveiled a commemorative plaque at the main entrance to mark the occasion. By 1979, the school had grown to 539 students and welcomed a beautiful new pavilion. In 1980, history was made when Delmas High School hosted its first Inter-school Athletics Competition, accommodating all participants with ease.OUR HISTORY
As die rooidag se Rooi die grasbulte tint
En yl teen die hemel die rokie klim,
Hoor jy vêr oor die veld ons lied weerklink
En weet ons het Goed Begin.
As die douspoor verdamp en die leeurikie styg
Soos ’n lied in ons harte na bo,
Lê die land se sooie blink in die son
En die oes is Half Gewin.
Ons glo voor die aandson sy Goud oor ons strooi
Sal die somerwolk bloei daar ver;
En die hemel sy seën oor ons arbeid laat reën,
En ons sing want die lewe is mooi.
We give the place of honour to God and His Word in our lives and strive to uphold Christian life principles.
We stand for our Language, our Nation, and our Country, defending them with all our heart and soul.
We strive to be disciplined, steadfast Christian-Afrikaners at all times and under all circumstances.
We honour the traditions and heritage of our forefathers.
We serve our school and community selflessly, maintaining loyalty through both words and actions.
We aim to be friendly, helpful, and willing to serve our fellow humans, especially those who are weaker or
lonely.
We respect our parents, teachers, and educators, and show courtesy towards our peers, superiors, and
those who may be less fortunate.
We believe that every person has a life purpose to fulfil, and therefore, we make the most of the talents en-
trusted to us.
Our word is our honour, and we stand by it.
We take pride in keeping ourselves, our work, and our surroundings neat and clean.
We believe that success lies in the precise, correct, and diligent execution of tasks.
We believe that the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
