Learners from St David’s Marist Inanda in Sandton recently viral after putting a spin on a traditional song and turning it into a war cry.
According to IOL, 630 high school pupils just put the spirit back in school spirit.
After sharing clips of their war cries on Twitter, the internet started buzzing. It wasn’t long before their rendition of the popular song All the Way Up, the school’s war cry, went viral on social media
The videos were reportedly recorded three weeks ago while the boys were practising the war cry, which they do each week during rugby and hockey season.
“These videos have really won the hearts and minds of people,” Lara Klement, the school’s advancement manager told IOL.
“The boys practise the war cry regularly at the school, and it centres on building spirit and tradition – and just having a fun time within a contained, disciplined environment.
“This particular group of boys is particularly passionate. It’s about having something relevant to the boys in a modern context, and ramping up the school vibe and passion.
“People are enjoying the vibe of it, the spirit of it. It’s something quite unifying. There’s an African element to it, and the boys have put their own twist on it. There’s been a hugely positive response.”
Klement also said that the videos created a platform from which other schools in South Africa could also showcase their war cries.
“It’s about children supporting their school and each other and unity. What it’s done is open up a platform for other schools to express themselves.”
Of course, Twitter users loved it, saying that this is ‘such an amazing show of South African gees!’
“It’s lit in this school…I’d never be absent.”
“Wow! The black & gold making us proud!”
“Never appreciated the spirit of boys’ schools more than when I watch these lads and Dale boys going at it. Superb.”
