Celebrating a year of achievements and farewells at BST
On 13 November, despite the rain, our end-of-year dinner party was a night to remember, filled with laughter, connection, and celebration.
Our students, faculty, staff, board members, alumni, and their families came together to celebrate the end of the academic year.
The highlight of the evening was bidding farewell to our beloved Deputy Principal, John Coulson, who is retiring after 20 years of dedicated service. Alumni shared heartfelt stories of John’s impact, and he gave a moving reflection on his time at BST.
The atmosphere was festive, with everyone joining in the fun of a Bible character costume party, guessing each other’s outfits and sharing laughs over creative interpretations of biblical characters. We are still debating if John came dressed as Moses or Elijah!
We also recognised faculty members for their milestone years of service—Karen Lynch (5 years), Richard Gibson (10 years), and Andrew Prince (15 years).
As we look ahead, the night reminded us of the strong sense of community that defines BST. We can’t wait to see what the next year holds for our students, staff, and alumni as we continue to learn, grow, and serve together.
