WOW...we're 4 today!!I started this blog back in 2007, with the first post being lyrics of our beloved school song, and am so grateful to still be here today sharing this celebration post with you.
Writing and maintaining this blog has been a labour of love from Day One. From a young age, I have always been attracted to the power of the written word and secretly nursed a desire to become a writer to change the world. This humble blog has proven just how powerful and evocative words can be in galvanizing people to action. Some examples that spring to mind include:-
- The day we re-claimed the Pavilion for the Back2BBGS gala celebration
- Producing an exhibition on the history of BBGS
- Countless numbers of reunions, by class and country chapters
- Over 40 stories from BBGSians shared through Project Kindle
- Visiting and catching up with our teachers to find out what they've been up to
- Remembering the songs we sang, food we ate and games we played!
So I want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of you for making this possible. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your stories, memories and friendships with me. I have had a wonderful time crafting this treasure chest for BBGSians and will cherish your continued support and love for all the things we hold dear.
In closing, I'd like to leave you with the words of our beloved Miss Cooke:-
"Girls of BBGS - you have a rich heritage. I challenge you to live a wholesome, vibrant life totally committed to giving nothing less than your best while always remembering our school motto - Nisi Dominus Frustra. Without God all is in vain."
