Students and staffed marked the annual Commemoration Day on Friday 23 May 2025.

Each year, we honour the vision and generosity of our Founders and Benefactors, who relocated St Dunstan’s from the City to Lewisham in 1888. This tradition offers a powerful moment for current students to connect with the school’s rich history.

Following a commemorative service at Southwark Cathedral, Year 7 and 8 students explored some of the earliest co-curricular activities introduced at the College. Lacrosse and the O.T.C. (now the CCF) were part of a pioneering out-of-hours programme established by Headmaster Rev Forder, designed to foster character and resilience in young Dunstonians.
