As part of our 175 celebration, we as a Bishops community would like to leave an item of long lasting significance to commemorate this historic year. In 1999, as part of the 150 celebration, the school community commissioned and installed the statue of the young boy, which sits on the bench outside the two chapels. After much thought, it was decided that for the 175th year, we would like to complete the last three stained-glass windows in the beautiful Brooke Chapel. The Brooke Chapel has been at the centre of worship for over a century, and holds a special place in the hearts of many in the Bishops community, as a place of quiet contemplation, for services, weddings, baptisms and memorial services.

Three windows honouring three special people have been designed by local artist, Anika van der Merwe, who is one of South Africa's foremost practitioners in the art of stained-glass. As a school we are launching a fund-raising campaign, to leave behind these windows as our mark for the 175 anniversary. This is the only fund-raising which will happen in connection with 175, and gives the entire Bishops community an opportunity to be part of this exciting and enduring project.
