Alumni Association of Fred Norman Senior Secondary School

Fred Norman Senior Secondary School is based in a southern Johannesburg township called Ennerdale.  The Fred Norman Alumni was established in 2009 and is growing in strength.  We would like to make it our mission to improve the quality of education in the school and transform the learner's experience in this challenging environment plagued by crime as a result of high unemployment levels amongst other things. 

The school has plenty of space to develop facilities for their learners, that space is vacant, unkept and used by learners to hide from educators amongst the tall grass, smoke, and get involved in illegal activities on the school grounds.

Funds raised will be allocated to achieve the following:

1. SCHOOL HALL (Building of a brand new stand-alone structure on the school's premises):

Includes versatile stage for concerts, performances, events, awards evenings, parent, student body, and school governing body meetings, etc.

We, the members of the school's Alumni Association also stood outside in the heat and cold exposed to the elements because the school did not and still does not have a school hall.  We all share memories of other learners fainting around us during assembly time.

2. MULTI-PURPOSE SPORTING FACILITIES:

Includes versatile soccer, rugby, hockey, and netball fields. Girls and boys changing rooms and locker facilities with showers and toilets.

3. STATE OF THE ART SCIENCE LAB:

Existing facilities adapted and converted.

4. LIBRARY AND COMPUTER CENTRE:

Brand new facility to be constructed, equipped with computers and a physical library for learners to conduct research, attend various computer-based classes and have access to appropriate literature for both social and educational development purposes.

The aim of the Alumni Association of Fred Norman Secondary School, known as the Fred Norman Alumni, is to promote, foster, and maintain links between Alumni members and all stakeholders at Fred Norman Senior Secondary School. We also aim:
