Our Community
Our Alumnae
Our Old Girls represent an incredible breadth and depth of accomplishments.
In their hearts, they never really leave BSS. Our alumnae often return as speakers, mentors, advisors and role models for our current students - and that's where today's girls benefit the most.

Dominique Hussey '91
Vice Chair and Toronto Managing Partner, Bennett Jones
“For lots of reasons, the world is in an uncertain place. We can’t leave responsibilities to our children or our grandchildren; we have to make changes now.” -
Margaret DeROCHE Derry '64
PhD, Professor of History, University of Guelph
Margaret produced several seminal works of scholarship, including Masterminding Nature: The Breeding of Animals and Horses in Society: A Story of Animal Breeding and Marketing Culture, 1800-1920, that have influenced academics across the globe. “I follow my curiosities. I love research and I love learning, so it’s been very rewarding.” -
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.”
The Distinguished Old Girl Award (DOGA) is presented to an alumna who has made a difference in the lives of others by giving back to the community, contributing a great deal to her profession, or showing tremendous leadership.
Assembly celebrates the vibrant lives of BSS Old Girls - their achievements, their impact on the world and the challenges they face. It connects our diverse community through stories, experiences and the common tie that BSS alumnae all share.
