Meet the Matrics | Soneesh Govender 🎓
Soneesh Govender has been part of the Bennies family since Grade R as a member of Allard House. His journey has taught him the importance of staying strong through challenges, while holding on to his confidence, curiosity and creativity. Looking ahead, he hopes to always remember where he started and to “be kind to the world even when it isn’t towards you.”
Some of Soneesh’s proudest Bennies memories have come through the Drama Department. From winning Best Special Effects at FEDA in Grade 10 to earning several awards in Grade 11, his involvement grew even further when he took on the role of Stage Manager for the school’s first-ever FEDA-winning production. These achievements reflect both his creativity and the dedication he has brought to every production.
We wish Soneesh all the very best for the remainder of his matric journey and the exciting future that awaits him. Once a Bennies boy, always a Bennies boy.

Bennies boys represent South Africa in California 🏊♂️🇺🇸
Matthew Mann, Kai Whelan and Giancarlo Raccanello travelled to Irvine, California, from 10 to 15 August after being selected for the Swimming South Africa National Team for the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships.
The boys were accompanied by their coach, Gerard Naus, and had the opportunity to compete at an international championship alongside some of the region’s top young swimmers.
We are incredibly proud of Matthew, Kai and Giancarlo for earning their selection and representing South Africa and Bennies on the international stage. Well done, boys!

A strong foundation begins with the right support. ✏️📚⚽️
Starting your child’s journey at St Benedict’s from Grade 00 or Grade 0 gives them the opportunity to grow, learn and settle into school life from an early age. One of the benefits of this early start is the opportunity for early intervention, allowing our teachers, parents and therapists to work together to identify areas of support and put the right strategies in place.
It is all about giving every child the support they need to thrive from the very beginning.
Come and discover our Junior Prep experience at our Open Day on 12 September. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to St Benedict’s.

What an incredible time we had at our Grade 00 and Grade 0 Concert! 🎩✨🤡🔥
Our youngest Bennies boys took to the stage with confidence, enthusiasm and plenty of joy, showcasing their creativity through music and performance. It was a wonderful reflection of the many activities and opportunities our boys experience from their very first years at St Benedict’s.
A special thank you to all our teachers and everyone involved in bringing the concert together, as well as to all the families and members of our community who came out to support the boys. It was a memorable celebration and a wonderful showcase of the vibrant experiences that form part of life at Bennies.

Meet the Matrics | Kabelo Masopha 🎓
Kabelo Masopha joined Bennies in Grade 8 as a member of Mazenod House. His journey has taught him the importance of staying true to himself, embracing new experiences and making the most of every opportunity. His advice to his younger self reflects the same outlook he carries with him today: enjoy the journey, have fun and never lose sight of who you are.
One of Kabelo’s fondest Bennies memories was making his First Team Soccer debut in Grade 10. Reaching that milestone was a proud moment in his journey and one that has remained a special part of his Bennies experience.
We wish Kabelo all the very best for the remainder of his matric journey and the exciting future that awaits him. Once a Bennies boy, always a Bennies boy.
