As the OCA celebrates its Centenary in 2020, keeping the traditions of the Green, White and Black alive within BBC has never been so important. On Thursday 9 May, BBC welcomed over 70 guests including Old Collegians and their families, for the first Multi-generational breakfast. Hosted in the Junior School Undercroft, this new event on the OCA and BBC calendars was for Old Boys and their families who are considering BBC as the school of choice for their son(s).
At this family-friendly event, children were able to play on the playground nearby, while parents enjoyed a casual stand-up breakfast with barista made coffee put on by Young Old Boys from our Coffee For Cambodia social enterprise. Current students, who are sons of Old Collegians, acted as ambassadors for the breakfast.
The Multi-generational breakfast also allowed exclusive access to the Headmaster, Paul Brown, and key members of the School Executive, along with an opportunity to see the College in action. The OCA is looking to expand the breakfast to current and past multi-generational families next year.
“I am pleased to announce the launch of our 2019 Annual Appeal. The theme of this year’s appeal is ‘All In’ which is in accord with the challenge the Year 12’s have set for the entire student body. The donations we receive from the appeal support our bursary program and our building fund. We are ambitious for the ongoing development of the College so that we can continue to provide outstanding opportunities for as many boys as possible and develop our facilities for the benefit of every boy and every member of staff. If you are able, I would encourage you to contribute to the appeal as every donation helps and together we can achieve great things for BBC. Please remember that donations to our annual appeal are tax deductible.” – Paul Brown, Headmaster
