Matric Spotlight: Alexander Dobas 🎓

Since joining Bennies in Grade R, Mazenod’s Alexander Dobas has grown into someone who quietly pushes himself, stays focused on what matters, and never shies away from hard work. If he could speak to his Grade 8 self, he’d remind him that resilience is everything — that falling is inevitable, but getting up is where the real character is built.

His message to his future self carries that same spirit. Strength isn’t measured by ease, but by how you rise when life knocks you down.

A highlight of his journey was taking third place at the AISJ football tournament, a moment that captured the pride, effort and commitment he brings to his sport and his school life.

Steady, determined and resilient. Here’s to you, Alexi.

We were grateful for the opportunity to bless the Assumpta Catholic School Grade 7s by hosting their end-of-year outing. The day was filled with fun, joy and meaningful moments as the learners celebrated the closing of their primary school journey.

What a privilege to be part of their special day. ❤️

Today our Grade 2 and 3 swimmers enjoyed a wonderful social gala with our sister schools, @holyrosaryjhb and @assumptionconvent 🏊‍♂️💦

It was our first time hosting an event of this kind and the energy around the pool was fantastic. The boys showed great spirit and had plenty of fun racing alongside new friends.

A heartfelt thank you to both schools for joining us and making the afternoon so memorable.

Matric Spotlight: Matthew Smit 🎓

Since joining Bennies in Grade R, O’Leary’s own Matthew has carried a determined yet easygoing spirit through every chapter of his school journey. If he could speak to his younger self, he’d remind him to embrace the challenges — because the fun times and rewards always follow.

Looking ahead, Matthew keeps his focus clear: to stay driven, to remember his purpose, and to never lose sight of what he’s working toward. Among his fondest memories, the 2023 Boston Tour stands tall — a highlight of camaraderie, growth and pride.

Grounded, driven and steadfast. Here’s to you, Matthew
