Establishment of BOGF

Founded in 1890, Belilios Public School (庇理羅士女子中學) was the first government English school for girls in Hong Kong. Ever since she was set up, BPS has educated and nurtured many passionate and responsible girls and contributed invaluably to the building and development of our society.
 
In 2005, a group of dedicated alumnae gathered together and established Belilios Old Girls Foundation (BOGF) to provide extra support for their alma mater. The goal is not only to produce better graduates from BPS but also to ensure Hong Kong will have stronger candidates for future development and growth.
 
A Council was formed to promote and pursue the work of BOGF. Committees were also formed to look after specific issues. All Council members are entrusted with the responsibility to determine which activity should be supported by BOGF funds.

BOGF is a registered charity under Section 88 of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, and donations made over HKD100 would be tax-deductible. Receipt could be issued for any donation amounts to or over HKD100. 

Funds under the management of BOGF
 
With the generous support of friends and benefactors, several funds have been established.

The General Fund consists of a pool of resources that provide financial assistance to BPS, which includes, but is not limited to, IT technician support, tutoring classes, and funding for students’ trips to overseas competitions.

The Scholarship Fund has been created for donors who contribute a minimum of $50,000 per scholarship, with an annual payout of $500 distributed during the Annual Prize Giving Day. Only the income generated from interest will be utilized, while the principal amount will be preserved.

Other funds included the Music Fund (to support student’s music activities and instrument replacement), the Exchange Fund (to subsidize overseas study programmes), I.T. Fund (to fund IT-related facilities) and Campus Fund (to subsidize campus development and renovation).

Activities organized by BOGF

2025 is BPS’s 135th Anniversary. BOGF is organizing a series of events to celebrate this important milestone of BPS, including a Gala Dinner to be held on 13 September 2025 and the setting up of new permanent scholarships in addition to the existing 101 to benefit the school in the long-term.
 
English Speaking League, a continuous programme started in 2010 offers precious opportunities for BPS girls to interact with foreigners in a relaxed environment after-school, so that their oral skills can be improved and horizons widened. The list of league leaders includes: Sir David Akers Jones, Sir Roger Lobo, Sir T.L. Yang, James Blake, Stephen Selby, Helen Seaton, Anthea Strickland, Junri Konii, Gillian Tong and Laura Dodwell. 80 students were benefitted each year and the League would continue to expand so that more girls could join this meaningful after-school activity.
 
Since 2012, BOGF has organized an annual Creative Writing Competition. Hundreds of Chinese and English entries were collected and winners were selected by a judging panel formed by BPS old girls. All winning essays are published at the end of the school year and distributed to the entire school as the year memento.
