About Us

Choose a boys' school

In a boys' school your son will have the freedom to be himself. Boys thrive in a monastic academic setting where they can get on with being themselves. A boys' school will provide your son with the opportunity to develop his own unique character in an environment where his strengths are encouraged and his weaknesses are supported.

We are a Catholic school

The attitudes and values we teach are firmly grounded in the traditions of Catholic education. We draw our strength and inspiration from our faith; we do not yield to the pressures of social trends; we believe that Christian formation through the fostering of gospel values is one of our fundamental purposes.

A school where your son can flourish

We believe in a holistic education and value academic achievement and compulsory participation in sport at the College level. St Benedict's is a school focussed on excellence, where each boy is encouraged to perform to his full potential in the classroom and on the sports field.

The four cornerstones of a St Benedict's education

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."


Nelson Mandela

"You are the light of the world...Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5: 13-16

"It is exercise alone that supports spirits, and keeps the mind in vigor."


Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being."

Thomas Carlyle

Our Vision, Our Mission

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display spiritual maturity sufficient to contemplate a divine call to God’s service and Christian life and to lead at some level in their church

  • St Benedict’s strives to light the way to an understanding that we are blessed and fallible beings who are precious in the eyes of God and loved without condition.

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display moral maturity sufficient to lead as an example of righteousness, to understand what is really important; to demonstrate courage under fire; to make responsible decisions and to be men of integrity.

  • St Benedict’s strives to light the way to an understanding that each boy is a work in progress and that through God’s grace has the potential to become Christ-like.

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display personal maturity sufficient to marry and fulfil God’s purposes in responsible relationships as a husband and father.

  • St Benedict’s strives to light the way to an understanding that in and through Jesus, we may encounter the real and loving presence of God.

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display academic maturity sufficient to study; be a lifelong learner and communicate and articulate as a man.

  • St Benedict’s strives to light the way to an understanding that love, justice and peace are achieved when living in right relationship with God, in solidarity with others and in harmony with creation.

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display economic maturity sufficient to hold an adult job and handle money.

  • St Benedict’s strives to light the way to an understanding that universal inclusivity demands that we reach out and care for all who experience impoverishment of any kind or circumstance.

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display physical maturity sufficient to work, play and protect a family.

  • It is our desire that the young men who grow in our care will display constitutional maturity sufficient to fight for human dignity and the achievement of equality; non-racialism and non-sexism, the rule of law and universal adult suffrage.
