Duigan Centre Opens
Innovation and BGS HeritageThe Duigan Centre embodies eight years of collaboration, the generosity of our donors, and a shared vision brought to life, one of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the pursuit of excellence.
More than 750 people toured the centre in the opening weekend. The Hon Nick Duigan (grand nephew of pioneer aviator and Old Boy John Duigan) officially opened the centre on Thursday 27 February and Bishop Kate Prowd performed the blessing.
Following music from our String Quartet, the Ten Tonners sang The Duigan Centre Anthem, composed by Ellis Cregan (Year 9) for his iDesign project. In Ellis’s words: ‘I was inspired by our new Duigan Centre which represents the best of our values and learning at BGS.’
The doors were then opened to our community on Saturday 1 March, and all were impressed with the new teaching and learning environment that the centre affords our students and staff.
The Duigan Centre helps our students to connect with our School’s rich history through the stories of those Old Boys who have gone before them, such as John Duigan, be inspired by their courage and vision and carry with them a piece of John Duigan’s extraordinary spirit and values.
