Statement of Significance
This site displays a distinctive palm tree, and is a landmark building (1937). This site, and similar ones
within "Die Vlakte," make tangible the absence of the community forced out under the Group Areas
Act, with the demolition of their homes that followed their removal. This site in particular, as a school,
has high social, associational, historical and intangible significance.
