HOOC's schools outreach programme consists of a five pillar strategy that also includes a parental guidance programme, a victim support programme, a multi-disciplinary training programme and the internal promotion of co-operation between the various governmental departments.

On Monday Hooc visits Klapmuts Primary, Joostenberg Primary and Bergendal Primary.

Tuesday they will visit Franschhoek Primary, Wemmershoek Primary and Weseind Primary. On Wednesday they visit Groendal Primary.
