SOME 850 former students, ex-teachers and friends of the Bukit Bintang Girls’ School (BBGS) came together with a common goal — to mark BBGS’ 125th anniversary and to raise funds in support of the Elena Cooke Education Fund (ECEF), which helps financially challenged students pursue their tertiary education.
It certainly brought back unforgettable and treasured memories. What clearly made it even more meaningful is the strong spirit that continues to bind both students and teachers despite the fact that the school’s physical building is no longer standing.
