Tourism Students visit Boulder's Beach



An exciting day!
An interesting Day-excursion was taken by the 2nd Year Tourism Management students where they got to learn more about the hospitality industry, Eco-tourism at Boulders beach as well as local cultures in Kalk Bay.  The day was filled with exciting activities and the students learned more about our Navy in Simon’s Town.

On Wednesday, 6 August 2014, more than 180 women braced the unpleasant weather to attend Prestige Academy’s annual Woman’s Evening. This auspicious event, hosted at Eensgezind situated in the heart of Koeberg, set the scene for a wonderful evening.

The first year students completing the National Diploma in Event Management were required to develop a sub-theme from the main theme, Madam Zingara, for each of their tables.  The event forms part of the curriculum and particularly the subject, Events Practice. 

The highlight for this year’s event was the guest speaker, Hein Wagner, who was born blind. Hein left guests speechless with his presentation and is living proof that, despite the challenges that come our way, anything is possible. He does not allow his blindness to stand in the way of his dreams and people often refer to him as a blind man with exceptional vision. 

Shaun Tait, the 2006 winner of Supersterre, graced the ladies with his presence by performing well-known songs.

This event was a tremendous success and, once again, the students outdid themselves.  A special word of thanks to our directors Mrs. Sandra Mostert and Ms. Estelle Gallowitz, our Academic Manager, Mrs. Veda Liebenberg, staff, SRC and all those that made this event possible.
