We are preparing to celebrate the school’s remarkable 150th anniversary with a series of inspiring and memorable events that bring together current students, staff, alumni, former staff members, friends, and supporters of our community. These celebrations will honour our rich heritage while looking ahead to an exciting future of growth and innovation.

If you would like to stay informed about upcoming events and announcements, please sign up for the mailing list by clicking below.

As part of our plans to celebrate the school's 150th anniversary, we are creating a Commemorative Legacy Wall on the Friary Lawn, made from beautifully engraved bricks. Each brick will feature the name of a student, alumnus, former staff member, or individual who has been personally connected to St Bonaventure’s and its community.

Important Details

Each brick costs £25 and includes two lines of text, with a maximum of 16 characters per line, including spaces. Only a limited number of bricks are available, so we encourage you not to miss this opportunity.

This initiative is open to:

• Current and former students
• Past and present staff
• Individuals with a personal connection to St Bonaventure’s

When buying your brick, please do not leave Line 1 & Line 2 (Your Name and Your message) blank or submit an anonymous brick. To process the order of your personalised brick, you must include your name, or the name of the person the brick is for, on line one. Line two can be used for a short message of up to 16 characters, including spaces.

Fundraising has always held a special place at the heart of school life. It unites our community in support of causes that reflect our values of compassion and solidarity, encouraging students and staff alike to make a positive impact beyond the school walls.

Since last November, students and members of staff have raised a total of £6,670 from a variety of initiatives, including:

• The annual Sponsored Walk has raised an impressive £3,740
• Our well-supported Fast Soup Day on 9 October enabled us to donate £511 to CAFOD.
• The Bake Sale, held in support of Macmillan Cancer Support and the Dominican Brothers assisting communities affected by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, raised a fantastic £255.
• The November Poppy Appeal raised £152.

St Bonaventure’s School stands out as a beacon of excellence in East London, where every member of staff is valued highly and given the opportunity to develop and grow. At the heart of our ethos lies a commitment to fostering a genuinely supportive and empowering environment for all, regardless of background or faith.

We always love celebrating the achievements and successes of our alumni community. Your accomplishments continue to inspire current students and reflect the lasting impact of your time with us.

If you have exciting news to share, such as the release of a new book, the receipt of a prestigious award, a major professional milestone, or any other significant career achievement, we would be delighted to hear from you.
