ENABLEMENT
BGS establishes an Endowment for Asian Studies BGS has established the Urwin Asian Studies Endowment Fund made possible with an anonymous and very large gift from a past parent. It is planned that the Fund will support our boys developing a deeper knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the history, geography, culture,
arts and literature of the diverse countries of Asia. This will occur through teacher development and exchange, increased student study tours and exchanges
in Asia and forming alliances and connections with industry. Donations from others interested in supporting this initiative are welcomed.
Instilling a love of reading A lack of access to books through poverty while growing up in mainland China has prompted a very generous donation to the BGS Library Fund from BGS Parent Eddie X’Lingson. Eddie is passionate about supporting the School to instil a love of reading in every boy. Eddie and his wife Chenn’s generous gift also recognises the seven years their son Jerry spent in the Junior School. Eddie and Chinn X’LIngson with son Jerry in the Junior School Library
