A Remarkable Season for Bennies Soccer

The 2025 season was one to remember, from the opening fixture against St Alban’s to the final whistle of the term. Our players showed incredible commitment, teamwork and heart throughout. The First Team had a standout season, reaching the semi-finals of the St Peter’s Tournament, while the U16s impressed with a 3rd place finish overall.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our dedicated coaches and supportive parents whose guidance and encouragement made this season such a success. With such promising talent coming through the ranks, the future of Bennies soccer looks brighter than ever. Well done, boys, you have made us proud. ⚽

The Prep School proudly hosted the CSO Interschool Chess Tournament, welcoming students from Catholic schools across the region.♟️

Each school took part in four exciting matches, creating a vibrant and competitive atmosphere. The tournament was a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their strategic thinking and problem-solving skills while connecting with peers of all levels.

It was a day filled with learning, friendly competition and community spirit, a true celebration of the game of chess.

Matric Spotlight: Roman Victor Blackburn 🎓

Since joining Bennies in Grade 9, Roman has embraced every moment with humour and enthusiasm as a proud member of Mazenod House. To his younger self, he would say: “You may still be asking your mom for R20, but one day you will be calculating your last R300 at Caprice as if it were a final exam.”

Looking ahead, his future self is reminded to hold onto the little joys that make life memorable. And for Roman, one memory stands above all others: Half Box, the legendary half portion of hot chips from the tuckshop, a small treat that became a big part of his Bennies experience.

Fun-loving, spirited and always ready to savour every moment. Here’s to you, Roman.
