The bonds we build and the traditions we share are the cornerstones of our community. For years, the spirit of St. Benedict's has connected us, and on Sunday, 13th July 2025, we have the wonderful opportunity to bring that spirit to life once again.
You’ve saved the date, and now the excitement is building. We are thrilled to invite you and your family to the annual Feast of St. Benedict – a day dedicated to faith, fellowship, and the enduring friendships that define us as "Old Bens."
This isn't just an event; it's a homecoming. It’s a chance to pause our busy lives, to reconnect with familiar faces, to share stories, and to create new memories alongside the people who share our history.

To commemorate this historic occasion, a special blessing will be held at Sanni18 for all our guests. It will be a moment to reflect on our shared history, the values that bind us, and the bright future that lies ahead for our beloved institution.
This is a celebration for everyone. We warmly encourage you to bring your partners, children, friends and loved ones. Let's make it a joyous occasion where our families and friends can meet and share in the community spirit that we all cherish.
As a special tribute to our shared heritage, all participating Old Bens will receive an exclusive "One Sixty & Beyond" memorabilia item. This is a unique keepsake to commemorate the day and our lasting connection to the College.
🌟Note that this memorabilia will be only available exclusively to Old Bens present on the 13th of July 2025 🌟
Prepare your taste buds for an unforgettable culinary journey. Our specially crafted lunch menu features a refreshing green apple and feta cold salad to start. For the main course, you will have a choice of succulent black pork curry, devilled chicken, or yellow fish curry, all served with traditional polos and mango ambula.
We haven't forgotten our little ones! The children's menu offers a choice of their all-time favourites: crispy chips, delicious nuggets, or cheesy pizza.
And for those with a sweet tooth, our dessert selection is sure to delight. Choose from a rich butterscotch pudding, classic ice cream, traditional wattalapan, or a healthy fruit salad.
For those who wish to raise a glass with old friends, a selection of alcoholic beverages and cocktails will be available for purchase directly from the venue. BYO is also possible.
