TOWARDS 200 YEARS
Bishops’ next major anniversary will be the 200-year celebrations
in 2049. What will the school carry with it into its third century?
We asked members of the Bishops community to share their thoughts
about what makes Bishops such a special place now, and what the
school might be like 25 years from now.
My hope for 2049 is that the
school will be a place where
everyone belongs, there is
respect for difference and

diverse pupil and staff body.

access to this space.

My hope for 2049 is that

Africa’s demographics.
The team sport
requirements and the
house system really
helps people integrate
into the school and
social circles.
