Bishop's College School | Getting Involved

Your time is a most valuable gift.

BCS encourages parents, grandparents, alumni, and employees to participate actively in the school community through volunteerism, and financial support beyond tuition. It is only with a highly-engaged community that we can continue to provide a first-rate and well-rounded educational experience for the students in our care.

Career Day

Every year, we host a career day. We invite alumni and parents to share their expertise and experience with our students. Whether starting out on their career journey or seasoned experts, the experience shared by presenters provides great first-hand insight. Presenters have included celebrated authors, athletes, movie producers, scientists, and leaders in business and the arts. For our students as they consider their future the wealth of experience and perspective shared opens a world of opportunity and understanding. To get involved with this initiative, please contact Susan Cook.

Internships

We strive to open doors to internship opportunities for our students. It is well recognized that internship experiences can have a profound impact on a student’s learning. Internships are a window into the working world. The BCS community, with its vast spectrum of opportunities, locally and internationally, can be an important contributor to hands-on work experiences for our students. Internships can be of varying duration, complexity, and in all fields of work, from business to hospitality services, and everything in between. If you are interested in providing an internship opportunity to one of our students, please contact Susan Cook.

Alumni Ambassadors

Alumni Ambassadors are leaders or representatives who help maintain the ties between fellow classmates and the school. They work together with the Advancement Office to foster relationships between alumni and assist in developing and managing ways to keep alumni connected to each other and to BCS. Alumni Ambassadors are called upon every five to ten years to assist with the organization of their reunion year. They also help by informing us of any milestones and by updating contact information for classmates.

Alumni Ambassadors are representatives who liaise with the school and the Advancement Office. They assist with the rallying of alumni in specific geographical locations. Ambassadors help get the school news out to the community and keep the BCS community connected and aware. Ambassadors may also assist with fundraising initiatives. If you are interested in becoming an Alumni Ambassador, please contact Susan Cook.

Class Reunions and Homecoming

Every year in the fall, all are welcome back to BCS to reconnect with fellow alumni and remember your time at BCS. It is a weekend to visit the campus, to meet the current students and hear first-hand about the BCS experience—its similarities and how it has changed over the years. It is a time to rekindle ties with faculty and staff and re-acquaint yourself with all that the Townships area has to offer. The 10^th, 20^th, 25^th, 30^th, 40^th, and 50^th milestone reunion years are also celebrated. For more information, please contact Susan Cook.

Friends of BCS Hockey

Friends of BCS Hockey is a group of alumni, parents, and friends that have a special interest in BCS Hockey and want to be part of the team’s success. Friends of BCS Hockey was formed by the organizers of the ongoing annual February Alumni Hockey Tournament which began with a puck-drop in Memorial Arena in 1986. With a minimum annual donation of $200 or, for alumni, $5 per year since graduation, the group provides support to the BCS hockey program. Our Prep and Varsity teams are regularly ranked in the top ten in the country, so the longstanding tradition of BCS Hockey pride continues. For more information, please contact Maxime Prieur or to add your support to Friends of BCS Hockey.

Friends of BCS Rugby

It’s an exciting time at BCS, as we’re happy to introduce to you the newly formed Friends of BCS Rugby. The Friends of BCS Rugby will be comprised of passionate alumni—both young and old(er)—who truly understand what it means to embody the character and values of the sport, and who bring spirit and energy to an old crease in an even older school. We all strongly believe in the rugby crease and see a very bright future for the sport, and all those involved with it, here at BCS. Whether you’ll be standing with us at the front of the scrum, or cheering along from the touchline, we look forward to reaching those milestones with you. For more information, please contact Ryan Comeau.
