From Fynbos to Fossils: Sharing South Africa�...
Penelope and Chris took the Grootbos Florilegium on the road this week!
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.
