2025 Annual
Appeal

Help us invest in the future of our young men.

Every gift – big or small – helps us provide the very best for our students, whether through endowment, learning spaces, facilities, or wellbeing.

For more than a century, generations of families, old boys, staff, and supporters have given their time and resources to help form young men of faith and character. Their belief in the power of community remains the foundation we build on today.

As our young men face new pressures and possibilities, that same generosity is more important than ever. Whether it’s enhancing pastoral care, improving learning environments, or defining our story, your contribution helps us respond with confidence and care. Through our Annual Appeal, we invite you to continue this legacy and ensure St Bede’s remains a place where boys grow into men who make a difference.
 

I invite you to join me in making a gift you can be proud of — a gift that honours our past, responds to the present, and invests in the future of every young man at St Bede’s.

Thank you as always for your ongoing support of the College.

Jon McDowall  |  Rector
 

You can make a difference

This year, your support can be directed to:

  • The St Bede’s College Foundation Endowment Fund
    A gift that keeps giving — supporting the College in perpetuity and strengthening our long-term sustainability.
  • Capital Development – Science & Technology Precinct
    The next phase of our master plan: a cutting-edge facility designed to foster innovation and equip our students for the future of work.
  • College Project – The Bede’s Story
    An initiative to visually bring to life the story of St Bede’s — past, present, and future, so that every young man who walks the halls understands where we’ve come from, what we stand for, and who they are becoming.
  • Rector’s Discretion
    Allowing us to respond flexibly to the most urgent needs within the College.
