We were proud to host a Newham Family Hub Workshop as part of the borough’s roadshow on 25th April! 💡
Parents and carers joined us to explore the wide range of support available, from parenting programmes to housing and employment advice.👏
One presenter shared:
...“We spoke to parents who found the parenting courses incredibly helpful; some even said they'd love to do a refresher. Others were excited to sign up and connect with family navigators for extra support.”

Our students had an amazing time celebrating Decade's Day!🎉
From funky '80s looks to iconic 2000s styles, it was a fantastic journey through the past. The 6th form students even created this brilliant video to capture the fun, and it was truly a day to remember!🌎

O, MARY, WE CROWN THEE WITH BLOSSOMS ✨
On the 6th of May, St Bonaventure’s celebrated the beautiful Crowning of Our Lady ceremony on the Friary Lawn. A coronet of white and cream flowers adorned the statue of Our Lady as students prayed the rosary and sang hymns in her honour.
... A special thank you to Year 8 student Stanley, who confidently read the Bidding Prayers, sharing his reflection: “I was proud to take part in this traditional and wonderful annual event at St Bonaventure’s. The atmosphere was reverent and moving. I will long remember today.”
Big thanks to Father Marie-Bruno from St Antony’s Church for making the morning unforgettable! 🙏🌷

Future First Alumni Day at St Bon’s 💫🎓
Our amazing students had an unforgettable day filled with inspiration, connection, and legacy at our alumni event.
Students had the opportunity to meet former Bon’s boys and our first female alum. The room was filled with alumni and... memories from careers in fashion, law, DJing, education, and event planning. Hearing from those who once walked the same halls opened eyes to the possibilities ahead.📚
“Anyone who attends St Bon’s has a family for life looking out for them. I didn’t realise at the time just how special this school was. Looking back, the friendships, the teachers, the shared experiences all shaped who I am today. No matter how far we have gone, we carry Bon’s with us.” – Tim Campbell
“What stood out most was how deeply the alumni related to the students’ experiences, which made their advice not only inspiring but genuinely motivating.” – Faith Garffus, Schools Membership Coordinator
A huge thank you to @FutureFirstOrg for helping us bridge the past with the future.👏

Yes, that’s right ✅ We have a special blessing from Pope Leo XIII in our school building, just outside the headteacher office. He was the last pope to take the name Leo… until now, with the newly elected Pope Leo XIV ✝️
Pope Leo XIII, was known for his encyclical on Rerum ...Novarum, partially inspired by the East London Dockers’ Strike and Cardinal Manning (yes, our Cardinal Manning Hall.
With the election of Pope Leo XIV, many see this as a strong signal of a renewed commitment to social justice for all.
