St Bonaventure's

" Thank you, once again, for all the support you, as Alumni, have given to our great school this academic year. I am always amazed at the way our Alumni give their time and skills to support the current generation of St Bonaventure's pupils.

A very special thanks go to those of you who have contributed financially via Invest My Community. This new fund has helped us to meet the needs of some of our most vulnerable pupils with love and compassion."

Mr McCormack, Headteacher

We are incredibly grateful to the alumni who have contributed to our newly launched Alumni Fund. This is a new initiative in response to alumni who wanted to give something back. We set up the fund to meet the needs of our current students and their families who are experiencing the post-Covid and cost of living challenges in Newham.

The demand for uniforms and school shoes is quite simply unprecedented. We know that Bon's boys always look smart, and we know how this helps them going off in the world, but we are really needing to help them with this at the moment. We are also building a contingency to help replace Chromebooks which were provided to students during the pandemic but are now getting to the end of their life cycle - these were resources that were literally life-changing for a number of our students - and we want to ensure they have the resources they need to fulfil their potential. Thank you so much to those who have made one-off gifts or regular donations. Every penny will go directly to the students who are the most in need.

Please help spread the word to other alumni you may be connected with. Thank you so much on behalf of the students.

InvestMyCommunity allows you to do your own fundraising event for our alumni fund. You can also set it up for birthdays, anniversaries or in memory. If you wish to discuss fundraising for a particular project, please email alumni@stbons.org. We will use this facility as we plan for our 150th anniversary.

Sign up to our Future First database, we use this to help organise career days, so make sure you are signed up so that you can see our requests for participants in our career days.

We know we have successful alumni in a wide range of fields, and it would be great to show the diversity of careers of our alumni, so please do sign up.

We are also looking to hear from more of our female alumni who are interested in coming in to inspire and work with our 6th form girls.

Chuba Akpom, left St Bon's in 2011 and it is amazing to see the achievements he has made.
