Benilde

Well another non-stop few months with so many activities and events taking place. The last week of Term 2 saw the handsome Benilde boys looking dazzling in their formal attire attend the Senior Ball at The International of Brighton. A wonderful night was had by all with great music from the DJ and live band made up of very talented St Bede’s boys. Special thanks to the college leaders and Andrew Beaumont for all their work in organising this memorable night.

Year 10 headed off to the Grampians in week two of this term. A fantastic week of activities kept us busy and included abseiling, rock climbing, hiking and kayaking. We had a great week and thankyou to the outdoor education staff, Darren Strom and Nick Anderson as well as Mr Rafferty and

Mr Heatley for attending.

The Year 10’s also completed a week of work experience which was also a success with some students finding their placements leading to further part time work and decisions being made to pursue particular career paths.

House Cross country has been run and a big 'Thank You' to all the Benilde boys who participated in this event.

Year 12 House Footy was played over two weeks with Benilde displaying brilliant skills and of course class! An incredible goal by Sam Savvas had the boys looking like we had the win in the bag, but unfortunately Solomon kicked a late goal and won.

Congratulations also to the Benilde boys who have been involved in school productions with Mentone Girl’s Grammar and Kilbreda. The time and effort that goes into such productions is incredible. Well done.

Not long to go for our Year 12s. From all in Benilde House we wish you all the best for your exams and future endeavours. We hope you take with you some wonderful memories and long lasting friendships from your time at St. Bede’s.
