Old Northview Association
Message from Head of Old Northview Association.
The Association is intimately linked to Northview High School (“the School”) in Highlands North, Johannesburg, South Africa, the past scholars of which form most of its members.
The Association is not formed for the purpose of carrying on any business that has for any of its objects the acquisition of gain by the members of the Association.
The Purpose of the Northview Foundation is ‘to establish and to ensure the long-term sustainability of Northview High School through the raising of funds to support Northview’s vision, mission and strategic objectives. These objectives include ensuring that an absence of means is no obstacle to an underprivileged learner attending Northview and having full access to the Northview experience.
Objects of the Association.
The objects for which the Association is established are:
- To promote good fellowship between past scholars of the School and generally to promote and maintain close relations between the members of the Association, School teachers past and present, the School Governing Body (SGB) and the current scholars of the school themselves;
- To provide financial assistance for any purpose related to the education of young persons who have been or are being educated at the School, and to invest and manage such funds;
- To acquire by lease, donation, bequest, exchange, purchase or any other mode of acquisition, movable and immovable property, and to exercise all the rights of ownership or possession there over, but the acquisition or leasing of immovable property shall be subject to the provisions of clause 13;
