The fun walk is a way for learners and parents to enjoy some time outside and experience a walk in the area,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maarman added that the walk also aims to cultivate a culture of fitness, wellness and community involvement among learners and parents, while strengthening the bond between the school and the broader Woodstock community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Maarman, the school is constantly in need of financial support to meet the needs of its learners and maintain the ageing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have about 535 learners enrolled at our school and most come from disadvantaged backgrounds. But we are privileged to have some parents and our teachers who always make things happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have beautiful learners and they keep the school going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that apart from upgrading the library, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicschoolsoffice-ct.com\/schools\/st-agnes-primary-school\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.catholicschoolsoffice-ct.com\/schools\/st-agnes-primary-school\">school<\/a> foyer is also in need of a fresh coat of paint, with several other maintenance projects still on their priority list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry fee is R20 for children and R30 for adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information contact the school on 021&nbsp;447 2839.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ
