Rondevlei Nature Reserve
Rondevlei Nature Reserve lies in Grassy Park, which makes it sound like a rather large grassy area when in fact the nature reserve is anything but. Rather, it forms part of a far greater body of water just north of Baden Powell Drive on the False Bay coastline, between Muizenberg and Strandfontein. But you reach its entrance via the suburb of Grassy Park. Rondevlei has some of the most spectacular views. Close to the sea here, you are surrounded by water with clear views of the range of mountains that dominate the southern suburbs of Cape Town.

Early life and schooling
St. Agnes Primary School, Woodstock
St Agnes Primary School caters for learners from across the socio-economic spectrum. We have learners from the surrounding areas, the townships, Nazareth House – a home for HIV/AIDS children, Ons Plek – a shelter for street children and a large number of refugees from different African countries. The majority of these parents are unable to contribute financially towards school fees, but no-one is refused admission to the school.
