Our Community

Our Alumnae

Our alumnae are a vibrant and diverse group of accomplished women connected by one important thread: their experiences at BSS.

While their lives and careers vary, they all carry forward the values and education they received at BSS. As mentors and leaders, their stories inspire our current students and one another.

Estelle PHILLIPS '14

Makeup Artist
"I was fortunate to spend the most significant years of my youth at BSS, and I remain deeply grateful for those experiences. BSS connected me to my most cherished friendships, which continue to be a source of support as I grow into adulthood. Staying connected to the alumnae community allows me to honour the strong foundation BSS gave me and remain part of a network of incredible relationships that continue to inspire and uplift me."
Jane WONG '04

Senior Manager, Projects, YF Life Insurance
"Being confident, fearless, kind and grateful - this is what makes me proud as a BSS girl. At BSS, I was encouraged to ask questions, dream big and explore what the world has to offer. All this would not have been possible without the support from the BSS community - teachers, BSS students - to whom I will be forever grateful."
Lalique ALLAN '18

Global Development Studies, Queen's University
“Walking through the front doors of BSS always invoked a sense of warmth and comfort. My experiences at BSS helped me to find my courage and build upon my leadership skills. It was a privilege to grow in a space with endless opportunities and support, which is why I stay connected with the BSS alumnae community. I find it inspiring to hear the amazing things other alumnae are up to, knowing we used to walk through the same front doors. Hopefully, one day my story will inspire a young BSS alumna.”
Sylvia HÄRM '80

Principal, IDS Integrative Design Strategies
"What I did not anticipate when I graduated from BSS was how long-lasting and deep-rooted my bond would be with the school community. Singing in the school choir, I not only developed a significant appreciation for music, but learned how powerfully it was able to connect me to a beautiful, shared experience amongst peers. Fast forward to today - The BSS Alumnae Choir celebrates the memories we all are so grateful for and offers continuednopportunities to unite us. It is a reminder that the sense of belonging we felt at BSS truly lasts a lifetime."

BSS alumnae are part of a powerful global network that offers many opportunities to learn, connect, volunteer and give back. They contribute their skills, expertise and resources to strengthen the BSS community. And they gain the support and knowledge of thousands of talented BSS graduates worldwide.
