Grand Opening


Innovation is here


O


n Sunday, November 1st, 2020, BHS held the official Opening Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting for the Innovation Centre, Arts


Wing & Theatre. In a much scaled-down affair due to COVID-19 restrictions, select guests attended the outdoor, socially- distanced and masked event. The entire event was live-streamed for everyone to watch from home; every student had been sent home a length of Leading the Way ribbon and were encouraged to join in the ribbon cutting from home. The School’s violin quartet, comprised of Kate Marcotte ’24, Charlotte Millington ’25, Elizabeth Wyer ’25, and Kalea Walker ’26 accompanied by pianist, Daina Babeckas ’21, played in the new Learning Commons, showing off the incredible acoustics of the new building. Head of School, Linda Parker, welcomed donors, campaign volunteers, trustees, staff, dignitaries and the student leadership executive. In her remarks, she shared that BHS has a long history of excellence and traditions and that the Innovation Centre ushered in a new and exciting way forward for BHS students, and for students all over Bermuda.


Head Students, Layla Kurt and Leahnae Morton-Richardson, along with Mrs Parker, cut the ribbon to officially open the building, after which, Mrs Parker and Ms Hollingsworth took guests on tours of the new facilities in small groups.

“Responding to an ever-changing world and job market, we knew that we needed to invest in innovation, develop our girls’ skills in the STEAM subjects and embed more inquiry-based learning and problem solving into our teaching.


We also knew that we needed to expand and modernise our campus and build new facilities to meet our students’ growing needs.”


- Linda Parker, Head of School
