In a testament to solidarity and determination, young educators at Calling Education in Stellenbosch undertook inspiring journeys, with 43 participants and 30 supporters joining forces to raise crucial funds for their school.

This initiative follows their tradition of endurance challenges, including a 109km Cape Town Cycle Tour and a 50km trail run spanning Lion’s Head, Table Mountain, and Devil’s Peak.Due to hazardous sea conditions, the planned swim from Robben Island was cancelled, leading to the creation of an alternative 8km route in Table Bay.

Calling Education was founded by Werner Cloete, former head boy of Paul Roos Gymnasium, and Dr. Phillip Geldenhuys, who saw the need for an alternative high school model in Stellenbosch. Calling Academy, an all-boys Christian high school, opened near Stellenbosch in 2018 with three teachers and 60 Grade 8 pupils. Its success led to a co-ed school in Kroonstad in 2022.
