Hillview High School

Hillview High School is a public English medium mixed-gender high school located in Roseville, Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.

Location

The school was founded in 1955 on the site of the former Prinshof Primary School (corner Du Toit and Dr Savage streets) near the city centre. The school moved from the city centre to Franzina Street in Roseville in 1979. The old buildings made the news after 6 July 1991 when they were bombed by members of the AWB.

"Levabo oculos" is the incipit of the traditional Latin version of this psalm: "Levabo oculos meos in montes unde veniet auxilium mihi".

School Anthem

I to the hills will lift mine eyes,
from whence doth come mine aid.
My safety cometh from the Lord,
who heav'n and earth hath made.

Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
he slumber that thee keeps.
Behold, he that keeps Israel,
he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
on thy right hand doth stay:
The moon by night thee shall not smite,
nor yet the sun by day.

The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
preserve thee from all ill.
Henceforth thy going out and in
God keep for ever will.

School Song

Strong as the eagles that master the sky
Firm as our mountains, never to die
Oh Hillview High we salute your name
Proudly then we will sing about your fame

Then to the hills,
We'll lift our eyes
Steadfast and striving for the prize

We are committed to finish this race
Winning's our aim losing's no disgrace
Using our potential is what its all about

So from the stands you will hear us shout:
Go Hillview Go! You're going to win!
Come on Hillview you're nearly in!
