Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive
Our parting shot this week is of the fiscal flycatcher babies that were born a week ago in a nest just outside our office.
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.

Thank you for the kind messages of concern and care this week as an early summer fynbos fire burned between Gansbaai and Stanford.
The view at Grootbos shows a clear outline of where the fire moved towards the Walker Bay area and onto the reserve.
From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, we wish you a fabulous weekend full of wild discoveries.
