What an incredible Embrace Symposium 🌳
Over two inspiring days, we were privileged to hear from exceptional speakers, engage in meaningful conversations, and create a space where ideas, experiences, and perspectives could be shared openly and honestly. A heartfelt thank you to every speaker who gave so generously of their time and expertise, and to those who facilitated our breakout sessions with such care and professionalism. Your contributions left a lasting impact on all who attended.
We are also deeply grateful to our sponsors for their support and partnership, with special thanks to Motus Bedfordview for helping make this year’s symposium possible. To everyone who joined us, thank you for being part of the conversation. Your presence, engagement, and willingness to learn from one another are what made Embrace such a meaningful experience.
We hope the insights gained and connections formed will continue to inspire long after the symposium has ended, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year.

Tomorrow, as we welcome St David’s Marist, Inanda, for our winter sports fixture, both schools will unite for Purple Day, raising awareness around gender-based violence and encouraging conversations about respect, responsibility, empathy, and positive change.
We invite our communities to stand with us by wearing purple, supporting the initiative, and contributing to our sanitary pad and tampon drive.
Together, we can use sport and community to make a meaningful difference and help create a culture of dignity, respect, and accountability.

Welcome to our first Reset Wednesday 🗓️
In a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, and be more, it’s easy to believe that balance means having everything perfectly under control.
The truth is that balance isn’t perfection. It’s being realistic with your time, consistent with your efforts, and intentional about making space for both work and rest.
As we begin this new series, we encourage our boys, parents, and wider Bennies community to take a moment to pause, reflect, and reset.
Because a balanced life isn’t a perfect life. It’s a sustainable one.
