In summer
of 2006, the Managing Committee of the BVS Parsi High School decided
to increase the School’s capacity and functioning. This was in
keeping with the vision of the founders and in order to meet the
ever increasing demands of modern education. To do so, the class
strength of students that in many cases exceeded 45 students, had to
be reduced so that the teachers were in a position to give maximum
attention to the students. In order to accomplish this, a section
had to be added to each grade and thus new classrooms were
constructed over the Sukhia Block. The old and narrow balconies of
the Limbuwala block that had now become safety hazard to the more
than 600 students that were using the classrooms in that block were
completely rebuilt and also extended to 10 feet wide corridors. This
phase I of the new construction was completed in the summer of 2007.
In
keeping with the wishes of the previous Chairman Lt Col (Retd) Mack
P. Soparivala, the management of the BVS decided to introduce
Cambridge in the School in August, 2006. This necessitated the
construction of Phase II where in the old toilet block was
demolished in order to add six more classrooms for the Cambridge
Section, two toilet blocks (one each for the Primary and the
Secondary students), two staff rooms and a head of department room
for the Cambridge section. The third phase of the construction will
now see 4 more classrooms, three new science labs, for the Cambridge
Section, one audio-visual room and a multi-purpose hall for the
whole school.
The
project for the summer of 2009 is the renovation of the three old
science labs in the main building.
The BVS
now is moving forward as quickly as possible to modernize its
facilities and believes it is important to look ahead. We are
required to stay abreast with the needs of modern education and have
a forward looking vision and concept for the School.
