FIRST WEEK OF COURSE FOR 26 BRAVO 🌱

The first week of our Orientation Phase is officially complete!

Our students have embraced the start of their journey, the challenge of 4:30am mornings, growing stronger and fitter each day and begun to discover what they are capable of!

Throughout the week, our students were introduced to key foundational training including Personal Mastery, Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and Diversity & Inclusivity. These are the building blocks that will support their growth throughout the programme and beyond.

Our weekend programme was particularly special, creating space for our young women to connect, build community, strengthen one another, and begin forming a powerful sisterhood.

As we enter the second week of Orientation Phase, we look forward to deepening our work together, strengthening relationships, and continuing to develop and empower our young women.

One week down. Many possibilities ahead. 🌿

In Loving Memory of Christopher Samuels 🕊️
It is with deep sadness that we at Chrysalis Academy acknowledge the passing of Mr Christopher Samuels, a dedicated official from the Department of Social Development who gave so much of himself to the young people of the Drakenstein and broader Cape Winelands region.
Christopher was more than an official — he was a quiet hero. He personally drove young people to their interviews and intakes at Chrysalis Academy, and on Graduation Days, he was there — fetching graduates, celebrating their achievements, and sharing in the pride of every milestone reached.
When graduates needed psychosocial support after completing the programme, Christopher didn't look away. He stepped in, provided referrals, and made sure no young person was left without the help they needed.
His service was selfless. His impact was immeasurable. His memory will live on in every young person whose life he touched. ❤️
To his family, his colleagues at Western Cape Government , and all who knew him — we stand with you in grief and in gratitude.
Rest in peace, Christopher. Your legacy endures in the lives you changed. 🙏
Western Cape Government

Today, we welcomed 26 BRAVO at their Opening Ceremony, marking the official start of their journey of growth, courage and possibility.

Students and staff came together to make a pledge to themselves, their future and to one another, creating a foundation of commitment, accountability, connection and support.

As they step into this new chapter, we look forward to walking alongside each young woman as she discovers her strength, embraces her potential and grows through the journey.

26 BRAVO, together we will Step Forward and Rise.
