The children also made sandwiches which they gave to the less fortunate on their way home from school. Leftover sandwiches were also distributed at nursery schools in Diepsloot and Kya Sands.

The Grade 7’s enjoyed a school sleep-out on Friday, 14 July.

Heron Bridge’s outreach programme consists of a series of on-going events to foster empathy for the homeless and raise funds for the school’s primary beneficiaries.
