School Anthem

1. Teen die hange van Magalies met sy fiere Eeufeestop deftig rys die Rustenburgse Hoërskool teen die bloue hemel op; wie se leuse, hoog en edel, elke leerling moet bewaar: Ken jouself in woord en wandel, wees getrou waar jy ook vaar. (2x)

(At the edge of the Magalies with its fiery Centenary top, the Rustenburg High School rises up. Every learner should protect its slogan high and noble. Know thyself in word and action, be true wherever you go.)

2. Ken jouself by les en studie, op kultuur en sportgebied Ken jouself in die vervulling van jou naasteliefd’ en plig Eer en roem moet jy versamel vir jou skool en dorp alom; nie alleen in jongelingsjare maar tot gryse ouderdom. (2x)

(Know thyself in lesson and study, in culture and in sport. Know thyself in the fulfillment of you neighbourly love and duty. You should gather honour and fame for your school and town; not only in youth but 'till grey old age.)

3. Deur jou skool is jy ontwikkel Ja, gestaal ook vir die taak wat jy eendag so sorgvuldig sal moet uitvoer hier op aard. Dink terug aan lang vervloë blye jeugherinnerings, neem die grootste plek nog altyd, jy ons Skool, in harte in. (2x)

4. Teen die hange van Magalies met sy fiere Eeufeestop deftig rys teen bloue hemel, jy, my Hoërskool, altyd op. Ken jouself en bloei bestendig- ook die nakroos sal jou eer vir die volk deur jou gevorm- Vaderland en God tot eer! (2x)
