Abstract
Many of the historically white schools in South Africa still experience difficulty in becoming fully racially integrated. This article examines the situation in a school where the problem of racial conflict has been eradicated. This study contributes to knowledge in this field because the approach followed by the two new school leaders (principal and deputy principal) in turning the school into an example of racial harmony can be fruitfully emulated. Some of the “secrets” of their success are discussed.
