At St Benedict’s we understand what makes boys tick and keep them active with learning, sports and the arts. We nurture their minds, shape their souls, build their bodies and hone their hearts.

Prayer for the week:
Loving God, As we begin this week, bless our minds to be open, curious and grateful patient. Help us learn with confidence and courage, and guide us with wisdom and care. Teach us to listen to one another, to respect different ideas, and to work together with kindness and purpose.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
We are delighted to welcome Mr Moeketsi Motsepe, appointed Head of St Benedict’s Preparatory School, effective January 2026.
Following a rigorous national recruitment process, Mr Motsepe emerged as an exceptional candidate, distinguished by his values-driven leadership, depth of experience in boys’ education, and strong alignment with the mission and ethos of St Benedict’s.
Mr Motsepe joins us from St Andrew’s College, Makhanda, where he served as Deputy Head, and previously from The Ridge School, where he held senior leadership responsibility for transformation, community engagement, and institutional culture. Across these roles, he has built a reputation for fostering inclusive communities, strengthening school culture, and advancing holistic education. A committed lifelong learner, he brings a reflective and forward-thinking approach to leadership and teaching.
During 2025, Mr Motsepe spent time at St Benedict’s as part of a structured transition process. This period allowed him to engage meaningfully with staff, boys, and parents, and to gain a deep understanding of the Preparatory School and the wider school community ahead of his formal appointment.
At heart, Mr Motsepe is a passionate Mathematics teacher and leader who believes deeply in belonging, staff development, and the formation of young men of character. He embraces the Catholic ethos of St Benedict’s and is committed to serving the community with faith, purpose, and humility.
We warmly welcome Mr Motsepe and his family to the St Benedict’s community and look forward to the leadership, vision, and inspiration he will bring.
Mr Motsepe’s prayer as he embarks on this new journey:
“God be in my head, and in my thinking.
God be in my eyes, and in my looking.
God be in my mouth, and in my speaking.
Oh, God be in my heart, and in my understanding.”
