Future First Alumni Day at St Bonās š«š
Our amazing students had an unforgettable day filled with inspiration, connection, and legacy at our alumni event.
Students had the opportunity to meet former Bonās 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.š
āAnyone who attends St Bonās has a family for life looking out for them. I didnāt 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 Bonās with us.ā ā Tim Campbell
āWhat stood out most was how deeply the alumni related to the studentsā experiences, which made their advice not only inspiring but genuinely motivating.ā ā Faith Garffus, Schools Membership Coordinator
A huge thank you to @FutureFirstOrg for helping us bridge the past with the future.š
