Ben Alexander (OKG02) spoke to the Class of 2025 about navigating life transitions as they prepare for their final days at Knox on 11 September. Through telling personal stories from his own student days, Ben openly shared the twisting path he took to become a professional rugby player and a business leader, post-retirement from sport. 

Along the way, Ben has faced setbacks and struggled to detach his identity from his performance as a Wallaby. In closing, Ben encouraged the boys to connect with their community and to be part of something bigger than themselves.

The following day, Ben also spoke with student mentors (MacPherson mates). Watch a short video of his reflections on the session (Instagram).
