🏉 Our rugby boys have settled in extremely well after their first week in England. Despite the freezing conditions our boys put in heated performances on the field! Our boys all represented the 1st XV for Stonar School and Mount Kelly respectively! 3 of our boys managed to get over the try line in their first matches!

With 4 weeks to go, we look forward to the development and impact our boys will have.

Meet the Matrics | Tristan Velosa 🎓

Tristan joined Bennies in Grade R as a member of Mazenod House. His advice to his younger self is to appreciate every experience and memory, because time moves quickly and even the smallest moments can become the ones we treasure most. Looking to the future, he hopes to stay true to his values, trust his decisions and never let the world make him boring.

Two of his fondest memories are starting the Bennies football league with friends in Grade 9 and watching the school come together to support it, as well as the Grade 10 Orange River tour, where the boys made the most of everything that didn’t go according to plan.

We wish Tristan 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 | Dominic Changamire 🎓

Dominic joined Bennies in Grade 8 as a member of Allard House. His advice to his younger self is to embrace imperfection, learn from mistakes and focus on becoming better than the day before. He also encourages himself to cherish every moment of high school, knowing that one day these years will become memories. Looking to the future, he believes that what seems impossible is often just something that has not yet been attempted.

One of his fondest memories was being selected for the Second Team at the Independent Schools Stayers’ Basketball Tournament at Kearsney College in Grade 9. Having watched the First Team compete there the year before, it was a special moment to experience a tournament he had long hoped to be part of.

We wish Dominic 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.
