A Big Week for Our Hospitality Class of 2025!

Our students have just wrapped up their tutorials and online assessments with Lobster Ink. Now they’re getting ready for full-time, mentored workplace training at the Grootbos lodges - starting Monday!

This new training setup gives them real on-the-job experience and helps them settle into the daily rhythm of the hospitality world.

As part of their last week in class, they had an amazing visit to Spier for a behind-the-scenes tour. The Spier team shared so much knowledge and really inspired the students - we’re so grateful for their time and support.

A big thank you to all the teachers and mentors who helped prepare our students for this exciting next step!

We also had a visit from iMED Africa, a local healthcare NPO. They spoke to the students about the support they offer to children and caregivers in Gansbaai. It's important to know where to turn when help is needed - that’s how strong communities are built.

Our students are ready! Let’s cheer them on as they head into this next phase.
