What this means
Alexander Sinton High School is an English-medium secondary school in Crawford, Cape Town, South Africa, established in 1951 and named after benefactor Alexander Sinton. The school has a significant history of academic and artistic excellence, resistance to apartheid, and community activism, including the 'Siege of Sinton' in 1985 and leading the anti-rationalisation struggle in 1993. It was awarded a Blue Plaque in 2017 for its historical resilience, and current principal Ms A. Domingo leads the school as an arts-focused institution with global recognition in dance and music. The school's legacy includes being the first school of colour to have a ballet studio and accepting African students before apartheid laws permitted it.
