Helshoogte House Anthem
During 2018 and 2019, wide consultation was held within the house. The House Anthem was revised to include English and isiXhosa. The lyrics were written by Helshoogters and set to the same familiar tune. At the first House Meeting of 2020 - Quarter 1 the new House Anthem was voted on and accepted by the House.
The new anthem is presented on the left-hand side, with a translation on the right-hand side to help with context and understanding.

I am a Helshoogter We stand as Helshoogte in the heart of Stellenbosch: Reis bo tot die hemel, Helshoogte my trots. Ukuqala kobuhlobo, nomanyano oluhle, Ngembeko kunye nentembeko
Hellies, saam sal ons veg en baklei Op die kampus kraai ons koning, here as brothers we will stand Helshoogte my trots en my eer.
Hellies, saam sal ons veg en baklei Ndizophila ndiyifele, and forever we will strive To give you our honour and pride.

Die Blou Hoender
Gee mekaar die regter voet!
Dis die blou, blou, blou
Dis die blou, blou hoender
I went to a party in Hellies jail
En uit spring die prim met ‘n helse byl.
Hy kap my hier, hy kap my daar
Hy kap my vere sommer deurmekaar.
Dis die blou, blou, blou
Dis die blou, blou hoender
‘n Matie girl is ‘n warm kat,
Sy laat jou net aan haar groottoon vat.
Dis die blou, blou, blou
Dis die blou, blou hoender
Dis al, dis al, dis al!
