Gordon's Bay

Gordon's Bay was a municipality from 1961 to 1996. The town council assumed a coat of arms, designed by Schalk Pienaar, in July 1962, and registered it with the Cape Provincial Administration in November 1962 and at the Bureau of Heraldry in November 1988. The arms were : Per chevron, the chief barry wavy Argent and Azure and the base Vert, in chief two anchors and in base a protea slipped and leaved, Or. In layman's terms, the shield was divided in two by a chevron-shaped line, the upper half displaying two golden anchors on a background of silver and blue wavy stripes, and the lower half a golden protea flower on a green background. The crest was a yacht in full sail, and the motto Sol et salubritas. == See also ==

The town does not have much educational opportunities, except for a couple daycares, and two primary schools, Gordon's Bay Primary School and Temperance Town Primary School. The town has no high school. Many children will either have to homeschool or attend other secondary institutions such as Hoërskool Strand, Parel Vallei High School, and Hottentots Holland High School. ==References==
