BISA Past Students - BISA Past Students

We were all very privileged to have the quality of lecturers we enjoyed and what we learned has, I am sure, stood us in good stead over the years.

When the Gordon family was over in Scotland on holiday, David Carnegie acted as principal. I so enjoyed his very polite “British” manner, although it did cause some amusement at times. Do you remember his wearing his tie over his jersey and meticulously peeling every grape and removing the pips before eating.

During 1966 it was our privilege to join with the students of Glenvar (AEB) for a visit to “Genadendal” the first ‘mission station’ in South Africa. Another highlight was the Choir Festival that BI presented at the Mowbray Presbyterian Church under the direction of Myra Horn.
