Boys need heroes - and we have them in spades!

The BGS Hall of Fame was established in 2008, the centenary year of the OBGS, to honour and celebrate our most high achieving Old Boys.

A new award was introduced in 2011, the Rising Star Award for those identified as well on their way to rising to the top, and in 2015 we introduced the Young Achievers Award.

The stories of these ‘heroes’ of BGS are on permanent display in the BGS Hall of Fame Gallery of Achievement situated just off The Quad.
