The symbolism of the crest is this: if a learner studies the opened book of knowledge,
the gates of success will open to such a learner.
The rising sun alludes to collected knowledge,
which brings enlightenment in a learner's life - hence the motto:
On a hill in Edenvale
Stands a school so proud
Learners with desire
To sing a song out loud
It's a song of inspiration
For all who have a dream
To grow in self-fulfilment
And do it as a team!
We strive to learn, to work and win
Our future to secure
In hope we stand to build our land
In faith we will endure
So join us as we conquer
The challenges we face
Together as a family
We do it all in grace
Oh Dowerglen we honour
Our teachers, friends, ourselves!
Dowerglen! Dowerglen!
Our future is our choice
Dowerglen! Dowerglen!
Let's make a joyful noise!
Nkosi sikelel' Afrika,
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela thina,
Lusapho lwayo
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso
O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho
O se boloke (Ntate),
O se boloke
Setjhaba sa Heso
Setjhaba sa South Afrika
(South Afrika)
Uit die blou van onse hemel
Uit die diepte van ons see
Oor ons ewige gebergtes
Waar die kranse antwoord gee
Sounds to call to come together
And united we shall stand
Let us live and strive for freedom
In South Africa our land.
