Cambridge School Certificate mark sheet BCS Batch Cambridge School Certificate mark sheet BCS Batch 1957 sent in by Dr. Santokh Singh (Leroy House Captain '57) and says "The above is a chart prepared by the School in early 1958 for the 1957 batch results. You may put it on the OC News-letter to remind my classmates how brilliant we were!! 😀 Note: all 4 Lefroyans are in the middle coincidentally!" Most members from this class went on to do well in life. Wonder if Dr Santokh Singh can give a brief account for each one of them. Every life is an interesting one, a book of its own story!! #ocaofbcs #bishopcottonschool #1957 #nostalgia #bcsheritage

Mission Aconcagua Completed / Karma Tenzing Nyangm Mission Aconcagua Completed / Karma Tenzing Nyangmi writes : "Completed. Here’s me at the summit of #Aconcagua (6,962 meters or 22,840 feet above sea level) after an intense 13 hours of climbing where we started our climb directly from Camp 2 with no acclimatisation. Due to weather conditions we had to change and complete our entire climb from Base Camp to Summit and back to Base Camp in a shortened 5 days (in Everest it was 21 days and in Manaslu I did it in 10 days – Usually it takes double or even three times for most climbers). With this summit of Aconcagua, I’m now closer to my goals of being a true Explorer. If summiting an 8,000 meter peak is equivalent to a Masters degree and summiting Everest is a PhD, then the below are the lifetime Emeritus titles offered. So far, below are my membership journey into the various clubs I’ve always wanted to be a part of: Completed 1/3rd of the Three Poles Challenge Completed 2/7th of the Seven Summits Challenge Completed 2/9th of the Explorers Grand Slam Completed 2/14th of the 14 8,000+ Meters Challenge" #ocaofbcs #oc #bishopcottonschool

OLD COTTONIAN @sodhivikramsingh Sodhi Vikram Singh OLD COTTONIAN @sodhivikramsingh Sodhi Vikram Singh – Sri Anandpur Sahib Wale – receiving and honouring the Archbishop of Canterbury who is the Head of the Church of England-Protestant Church at the Darbar Sahib Complex of Harmandir Sahib. He is on a visit to celebrate the 550 years birth celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Sending out a strong global message of the relevance of interfaith dialogue and universal brotherhood. Sarbat da Bhalla as enunciated by Baba Nanak and the central message of the Sikh Faith, in these times of suspicion and global conflict….. Honouring his holiness and explaining key tenants of the Sikh Faith prior to his visit to Darbar with the Jathedar Akal Takhat Sahib at the information centre, Harminder Sahib. Beautiful Emotional Tonic to the Heart and Soul. Well done! you perform these extraordinary gestures with selfless commitment for the love of all. #ocaofbcs #bishopcottonschool #anandpursahib #archbishopofcanterbury
