Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge – Newham Regional Final✨
Congratulations to Abiodun on his fantastic achievement in taking part in the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge 2025.🎤
Standing up and speaking in front of an audience takes real courage, and his willingness to share ...his voice is something to be truly proud of. While he may not have placed in the top three, his participation alone is a testament to his confidence, maturity, and leadership.
His effort, preparation, and bravery have not gone unnoticed. He represented St Bonaventure's with pride, and we are all incredibly proud of him.
Thank you to the staff who supported and accompanied Abiodun through what was a late evening. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.👏

Meet Louis and Ayaan from Year 7, our brilliant School Council TfL Pioneers, proudly unveiling the brand-new School Travel Notice Board!🙌
Designed and created by students, this colourful and creative board encourages our whole school community to think about the health and environmental... benefits of walking, cycling, and travelling actively. 🌍
It’s already catching the attention of both students and staff, sparking conversations about making small, positive changes to daily routines.
Next up? An exciting competition for all students, with prizes for those who show the biggest boost in walking or cycling!🏆
Launching soon during Eco Active Assembly Week, get ready to step up and make a difference!

Making a Difference Beyond the Classroom.🌎
Our Deputy Headteacher, Mr Lewis, has been working with @CitizensUK for nearly 10 years to fight for fairer housing in London. Today, a powerful new report was launched with @TrustforLondon, shedding light on the hidden crisis of temporary ...accommodation affecting 164,000 children, including thousands of families right here in Newham.
What should be a short-term solution has become a lifelong reality for some, with heartbreaking stories of people spending over 40 years in "temporary" homes.
At the heart of the report is a simple, urgent call: every family deserves dignity and the basics a place to wash, cook, connect, get help, and keep their belongings safe.
We are proud of Mr Lewis and all those working for change. Let’s raise awareness and build a London where every child has a stable home. 🏠✨

Our TfL Pioneers 2025 team is in full swing.
Pictured here with Youth Travel Ambassador Michael Kitchen, our incredible school councillors from Years 7 to 10 are continuing the project to promote the health and environmental benefits of active travel.
They're now preparing to... deliver an Eco Active Week Assembly, with tips from Michael to help make their message even more powerful.🌱
Councillor Tobi shared, “I picked up great tips to show how small changes in how we travel, like walking, cycling or using public transport, can really reduce our carbon footprint.”
Good luck to our Councillors as they lead this important campaign and work toward their well-deserved accreditation.👏

We gathered at St Antony’s Church to celebrate our Year 11 Leavers’ Mass – a heartfelt and uplifting farewell as our students began their study leave.✨
The service, celebrated by Rt Rev Mgr John Armitage (St Margaret and All Saints’ Church, Canning Town), reminded us all: ...“Don’t just wait for it to happen – make it happen!” 💬
We were honoured to welcome Margaret and Barry Mizen of the @MizenFoundation, who presented the prestigious Sparkle Award to Emmanuel, with a group of boys also highly commended. Inspired by the enduring spirit of their son Jimmy, the award celebrates kindness, courage, and compassion.
Each student received a blessed San Damiano cross, a lasting reminder that they are loved and always in our prayers. 🙏
The Mass closed with a spirited rendition of our school song – In Sanctitate et Doctrina – lifting the roof in true Bon’s fashion!
Thank you to The Brothers Trust (@thebrotherstrust) for funding this year’s awards and helping us shine a light on the goodness in our young people. 💫
