Community care
Community wellness and advancement
One of the things we value most about the ethos at our school is an interconnectedness that runs through all aspects of the school. You feel it as you talk to boys and parents. You feel it in interactions with all members of staff, from the grounds to the classroom to the staffroom.
You can see it in the boys’ happiness levels – an almost tangible energy.
Our wellness philosophy of self-actualisation infuses our thinking and guides us when making strategic decisions for wellness and advancement at St Benedict’s.
We have various support structures available to support our community which include:
- Wellness Department
- Clinic
- School Chaplain
- TDI
Giving is also a major part of our ethos.
- Beneficiaries we support
- Ububele programme
