The School was built by Sorabji Shapurji
Bengallee in the memory of his mother, Bai Bhikhaijee Shapurji
Bengallee and in token of his filial love and gratitude for
all that she had done for him. The full name of the School
is Bai Bhikhaijee Shapurji Bengallee Girls’ High School.
The original school was a fine bungalow situated at the junction
of Parsi Bazaar Street and Sir Pherozeshah Mehta Road. The
school was only for Parsee girls. For the first time in 1944,
the students were sent for the Matriculation Examination.
With the passage of time, the old building gave way to a
new edifice and in a new locality. In 1952, the new building
comprising of five storeys was completed. It was located at
Sir Vithaldas Thackersey Marg, formerly called New Marine
Lines.
The School is managed by The Parsee Girls’ School Association
ever since its inception in 1858. The aim of The Parsee Girls’
School Association (P. G. S. A.) is “Service to Girls’
Education”.
Take care of us oh Lord we pray
Guide us and protect us every step of our way,
Pray keep us safe while at work or play
And shower your blessings on us each day.
May Good Thoughts, Good Words,
Good Deeds we reap
And the company of good friends we keep,
Help us to do the things we should
To be to others kind and good,
In all we do and all we say
To grow more loving every day.
Of our School we sing of glory
It is a gift of Sorabji Bengallee
He was a man of very great vision
And this edifice was his mission.
Our School moulds us for life’s true worth
Through honesty and very hard work
We are groomed to face the mill of life
And to bear with patience all strife.
That knowledge is wealth most profound
Our motto to is bound
We trust in God and do the right,
For the glory of our School we strive.
We will toil and sweat and have no fear,
We will progress and be happy here
May our Alma Mater reach great heights
Always be our Beacon Bright.
