Hundreds of Sharonlea Primary School pupils took to the leafy streets of Sharonlea for their Big Walk.
The Big Walk on 15 June was held to raise funds for much-needed CCTV cameras around the school. Principal, Carla Hercules, said, “Many pupils are left until very late in the afternoons in the waiting area. There has also been a spate of school burglaries in the Randburg area, and as a result we would like to upgrade the security around the entrance of the school and hopefully the cameras will be a deterrent.”
The walk was a major success with grandparents, parents, and pupils taking to the streets, while residents happily waved them past their driveways. It also brought the school together under a united cause and pupils had a bit of fun too.
Hercules said, “Today was a massive success, it was well attended by the community and pupils.”
She added that by her estimation, they have raised much more than expected.
