Thembalesizwe learners enjoining a three day tour

GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - Grade 7 students from Thembalesizwe Primary School had an exciting day in the company of Rob and Elfie Holden from the Skipper Foundation in Mossel Bay.

The visit was a fantastic opportunity for these young learners to explore and learn about various aspects of life and skills that can help shape their futures.

The Skipper Foundation is committed to empowering students with essential skills that will enable them to become responsible and employable individuals.

Their vision extends to preparing these young boys and girls for careers in maritime fields and beyond. To achieve this, the foundation provides training in both soft skills, which are essential for effective communication and teamwork, and technical skills relevant to their chosen careers. Equipping students with these skills are essential for their success in the future.

The Grade 7 learners embarked on a memorable journey, departing from Graaff-Reinet on Friday morning. Their itinerary included fascinating stops along the way. First, they explored the wonders of the Cango Caves in Oudtshoorn. From there, they continued their adventure, visiting the Red Strawberry Farm in George.

This three-day tour was not only an educational opportunity but also a chance for the primary school students to become more familiar with what awaits them as they transition to high school.
