Meet the Matrics | Orapetswe Pelle 🎓
Orapetswe Pelle joined Bennies in Grade 8 as a member of Allard House and has embraced every opportunity to grow as both a student and a leader. Guided by discipline and determination, he believes in staying focused on his own journey rather than comparing himself to others. Looking ahead, he hopes to carry one mindset with him wherever life leads: “Keep being curious. Keep learning. Keep creating.”
One of Orapetswe’s most meaningful Bennies memories was his Leadership Induction. Receiving his blazer from his godmother made the occasion especially memorable, symbolising the trust and responsibility that came with the role. Celebrating the milestone with friends afterwards reminded him that while achievements matter, it is the brotherhood, support and shared experiences that truly define the Bennies journey.
We wish Orapetswe 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.

Stepping into the shoes of history’s greatest leaders.
Our Grade 4 boys brought their research to life as they proudly dressed up as inspiring leaders and shared what they had learnt with their parents.
A wonderful celebration of learning, confidence and the values that great leaders inspire in us all.

Walking with Great Leaders 👨🎨🧑🚀👨🎤
Our Grade 4 boys researched inspiring leaders to discover what made them influential and how they made a positive difference in the lives of others. They explored the challenges these leaders faced, their achievements, and the lessons they could learn from their examples, including courage, kindness, perseverance, honesty, and respect.
To bring their learning to life, the boys dressed up as the leaders they had researched and proudly presented their findings to their parents.

Meet the Matrics | Dylan Kench 🎓
Dylan Kench has been part of the Bennies family since Grade R as a proud member of O’Leary House. Over the years, he has learnt that hard work, patience and perseverance are the foundations of success. His advice to both his younger and future self reflects the value he places on trusting the process and understanding that meaningful achievements take time.
One of Dylan’s standout Bennies memories was the College’s memorable home victory over KES on Old Boys Day. The occasion captured the camaraderie that make Bennies such a special place and is a moment he will always look back on with pride.
We wish Dylan 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.
