CONVOCATION

At the 2017 Convocation, Headmaster Trip Darrin spoke to students and faculty on establishing a culture of consideration at BRS. He said, " To take steps towards these ideals this year, we as a School community will endeavor to improve the culture that binds us and that influences us. We launch a Culture of Consideration, one in which our actions and the words we choose to vocalize are more closely aligned with the humanity that resides in our hearts."

SATURDAY MORNING PROGRAM:

On most Saturdays, the boys and teachers gather in the auditorium for a Saturday morning program.  This might consist of a performance, a guest speaker, or a BRS teacher addressing a particular topic. On Saturday, September 9, advisors and their advisees enjoyed brunch together, which was followed by students establishing academic and non-academic goals for the first trimester.
