Vale John Cain

An active and valued member of our community

The Northcote High School community was saddened by the passing of former Victorian Premier and NHS Alumnus John Cain late last year and extends sincere sympathy to Nancye and family. His father played a pivotal role in establishing the school, which John Junior attended for four years, where he excelled in debating. John maintained an active and valuable interest in the school, supporting the establishment of an Arts Centre, the writing of the school history and the building of the John Cain Library. He will be remembered with affection by his classmates in the Class of ’48. He exemplified our motto, Meliora Sequamur (To Follow the Better Path).
