Held recently at Kala Mandir, the platinum jubilee celebration honored the school's legacy of educational excellence. The programme also unveiled bold initiatives to shape a brighter future for girls across Bengal.

The anniversary event was attended by renowned dignitaries including chief guest Prof. (Dr) Anuradha Lohia, eminent molecular biologist and former Vice-chancellor of Presidency University; G.K. Khaitan, trustee and secretary of The BSS school and Dipti Khaitan, additional secretary of the school, among others.

Speaking to The Statesman, Sunita Sen, Principal of the school, emphasised on its evolution. "This celebration means a lot because for a school to stay afloat for 75 long years is a very big thing. We had started off very humbly as a Hindi-medium school and transitioned to becoming an English-medium school. So naturally our journey has been on and on towards betterment," said Sen, adding, "Now our children are placed in various walks of life and that I think gives a completeness to education."
