On Thursday, 26 February 2026, the Grade 8 owlets officially became part of Volksrust High School during an evening that will remain forever etched in their memories.Gedurende hierdie aand het die uiltjies plegtig belowe om getrou aan hul skool te bly en hul skool se goeie naam altyd te bevorder. Die graad 8-leerders het amptelik die skool se waardes as hul eie aanvaar.

The Executive Council ceremonially assisted the Grade 8 learners in putting on their school blazers. This meaningful gesture symbolised the seniors welcoming the owlets into the Volkie family, as they begin their journey towards becoming mighty Volkie owls.Aan die einde van die aand het die nuwe, trotse Volkies hul skoollied gesing en, soos die tradisie voorskryf, vir die eerste keer die skool se kreed uitgeroep.

May the Class of 2030 rise to great heights throughout the remainder of their high school journey and into their promising futures. May the red Volkie blood flow through their veins each day as they leave their mark in the classroom, on the sports fields, on the cultural stage, and in service to their alma mater, Volksrust High School.
