LATEST ALUMNI NEWS!

Bridgetown High School has been given a helping hand in more ways than one with a generous donation by former students.

Following years of fundraising through corporate golf days, raffles and the annual scholarship classic, the Bridgetown High School Alumni Association has donated $10,000 to bolster the school’s new Building Fund which will assist in securing the High School’s infrastructure needs.

“We’re thrilled to receive this generous donation from our former students, which has helped boost the building fund for ongoing improvements and maintenance of the School.” The fund will allow for completion of the new undercover sports centre that’s been constructed on the old tennis courts, and will also include extra storage space attached to the building. Having an all-weather area means Bridgetown’s students will now have access to more activities, such as volleyball, badminton, indoor soccer and cricket, as well as a new space for assemblies.

However, the building fund will result in more than ongoing improvements and facilities. After registering the fund with the Federal Government, all donations made by the community are tax deductable.

“It’s no secret that maintaining a School’s infrastructure can be a costly business, and as former students, we wanted to help ensure Bridgetown High School continued to be a great place to get an education.” Alumni Chair Scott Robinson said. “The Bridgetown Alumni began as a way for former students to give something back to the school, to see it continue to grow and develop for the betterment of the community. While it was great to be able to contribute by way of a donation, setting up the Building Fund will hopefully offer a long-term advantage and encourage the community to help the school in whatever way they can.”

"The staff do a great job, but there’s still some work to do to help support the students of Bridgetown High School.” Robinson said. “I’m looking forward to seeing the sports centre finished and would encourage everyone in the community to help make that a reality.”

The sports equipment storage shed is expected to be completed in the following months, prior to our 70th year celebrations in September 2024.
