Meet the Matrics | Gianluca Ferretti 🎓

Gianluca joined Bennies in Grade 0 as a member of Mazenod House. His advice to his younger self is simple: have more fun and remember that it’s not always that serious, unless you have three chapters of Business Studies to learn in one night! His question to his future self is just as relatable: “Does it get as bad as a double Maths on a Friday afternoon?”

One of his fondest memories is the Grade 10 Orange River tour, where he made some of his closest mates. The trip also gave rise to the legendary “sand war”, a memory that has clearly stuck with him.

We wish Gianluca 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.

Meet the Matrics | Daelan Brijmohun 🎓

Daelan joined Bennies in Grade 7 as a member of O’Leary House. His advice to his younger self is to stop trying to impress others and focus on what he loves. Inspired by the words, “In this world, the ones who are smiling are the strongest,” he hopes to keep smiling and being a light for those around him. Looking ahead, he reminds himself to stay true to his values, accept his flaws and remain strong through life’s challenges.

One of his fondest memories is representing Bennies at the Westville 2026 Aquatics Tour. The spirit throughout the gala and playing First Team Water Polo with the boys cheering him on made it an experience he will always hold close.

We wish Daelan 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.

Alex joined Bennies in Grade R as a member of Erasme House. His advice to his younger self is not to let fear hold him back, while his question to his future self is a simple but meaningful one: “Did everything work out in the end?”

Some of his fondest memories are the everyday breaktimes spent talking with friends. Looking back, he realises just how much those conversations and friendships meant to him, especially during challenging times. These are the moments he knows he will grow even fonder of as the years go by.

We wish Alex 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.
