Building our community and keeping its members connected to the school is a significant priority for St Dunstan’s College.
We have recruited a team of bright and dedicated recent St Dunstan’s leavers who will be phoning our network of Dunstonians and current parents from Tuesday 18 August to Friday 31 August. The team are looking forward to sharing their stories, hearing their fellow Dunstonians’ stories and speaking to current parents at the College.
What we are raising funds for
Our 2026 Telethon will be focusing primarily on our commitment to widening access to a St Dunstan's education through bursaries, ensuring St Dunstan's remains open to talented young people and representative of wider society at the heart of our local community.
Through your support, we can expand our bursary provision.
Dunstonians who are alumni of the College will also have the choice to support the regeneration of the Park Langley site which is their sporting fields situated in Beckenham. We are hoping to promote female sport at Park Langley in the near future as well as create a new physio room.
The Telethon is also an opportunity to:
- Reconnect with the College
- Share your journey since leaving
- Hear directly from current pupils and recent leavers
- Play a role in shaping the future of St Dunstan’s
Every conversation helps build a stronger and more connected community. We hope you will pick up the phone and speak to one of our callers: if so, you will be included in a prize draw for the chance to win a Fortnum & Mason Hamper.
Watch Dunstonian Chris Hadfield, as he tells us why he thinks we should get behind the College's telephone campaign.
Our callers
Meet our callers, they are all recent leavers, articulate, engaged, and passionate about St Dunstan’s. Most importantly, they are looking forward to speaking with you and sharing their own experiences of St Dunstan’s today.
Whilst the team won’t be able to contact everyone during this time, if you do not hear from them and are interested in hearing more about how you can support St Dunstan’s please get in touch with the Philanthropy Team at philanthropy@stdunstans.org.uk
