50 Years Together

As the students returned to the school in September, a new era began in the history of Bishop's College School. [...] When the school opened in September it was a different BCS. A new Headmaster, new staff and prefects, an unusually high number of new students—the greater part of which were girls—and a host of renovations and additions to the physical plant greeted the returning students. [...] The academic year 1972-73 was a transition year. A year in which the change was made from a boys' boarding school with girls to a truly co-educational school. [...] Together with the traditional school pride that has always been characteristic of BCS students, a feeling of general optimism was bred this year. [...] The combined efforts of the entire school body made this year, the first year of co-education, a successful year and a solid base for improvement by future generations of BCS students.

Excerpt from the 1972-73 Yearbook

The 2022-23 school year marks the 50^th anniversary of BCS and KHC coming together as one. 

The fall of 1972 was the beginning of a new chapter for our community. It brought about a profound change in the bond between KHC and BCS that continues today, providing a superior education that guides and challenges our students to achieve academic, athletic, and personal success.

Join us as we embark on a year-long celebration of the 50^th anniversary of the joining of KHC and BCS with a series of fun, interesting, and story-driven events. Scroll down to find out more and bookmark this page to refer back to as we add more information.

You may have noticed the debut of a new logo across some of our recent communications and social media. The logo was specially created to mark this anniversary year and showcases the two schools’ separate logos, such as they were in 1972 prior to the union. The three coloured arcs (BCS purple, KHC blue, and the gold that unites the two) connect the two logos in a circle, which represents the bonded community we treasure today.
