  • The History of Rondebosch Common a Plaque on a Stone at the South­ Cape Once Again
    An Oa~i~ ~ A YQSt of flowQting or by Betty Dwight and Joanne Eastman, 1 ondebosch Common was declared a National Monument in 1961, thereby preserving, Runintentionally, a small piece of Cape Flats flora 'sand plain fynbos', of which so little remains, in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Standing in the middle of the Common, surrounded by busy roads, one can still feel a sense of peace as the noise of the cars fade in the background. On closer inspection, with eyes turned to the ground, a wonderful miniature world of flowers, insects, birds and butterflies opens up. It is truly an oasis of wildness within the city. In January amongst the dry grass there are little patches of yellow Lobelia, Monopsis lutea. The African Monarch butterfly with its russet brown wings, tipped with black and white, flutters around the papery white Helichrysum flowers. Blue Aristea are flowering. This Aristea is taller with a strap-like stem compared to the Aristea africana seen in September. A few white Roella prostrata straggle along the ground. The Psoralea pinnata shrubs with their pale mauve flowers appear bravely in the dry season. Even in hot February there is something to find. The Struthiola shrublets are covered in small creamy, sometimes pale pink flowers. The restios stand out amongst the yellow grass with their green stems and dark brown flower heads. There are also many interesting seed-pods beginning to form. Grasshoppers, dragonflies and the Citrus Swallowtail butterflies are evident. In March the large black ants are on the move, very busy carrying seeds to their nests.

Common, are increasingly regarded sites for potential development. The Common has been the subject of debate during the last three years. The area has been identified as an urban open space containing highly valued natural and historical_-cultural assets. Significant areas such as this need to be protected from development and managed accordingly. They can be utilised as areas for environmental education, semi-formal recreation or aesthetic enjoyment. The Common typifies management problems that may be experienced in the compromise of using an area of predominantly natural vegetation for an unrestricted semi-formal recreation area. This report summarizes the importance of the Common and identifies the concerns surrounding its present management.

Indeed,, even the primary school block had not yet been built. I was serving on the various Trustee Boards and College of Teachers that initiated the building of the Primary School block, the decision to go into the high school, that initiated the building of the hall, and that made the decision to extend our school to the matric level. All together I accompanied six classes in the Primary school, which included two full cycles, and taking on the classes at various levels. At the beginning of my journey, I was the young one on the block, and am so aware of this now that we have a number of new teachers on the block in the Primary School faculty. I feel so honoured and reassured when I see my young colleagues with their respective classes who are on the task of teaching and taking Michael Oak into the future.Working with the students from The Centre of Creative Education has been my annual highlight, and have always felt that we are so privileged in the Primary School to have new teachers joining us Star Tree Festival who have had this Waldorf training.
