School Badge
The story of the school badge goes back to the years before 1950. A badge design competition was held and the one that is worn today was chosen. According to Miss Ma Tak Yan, a former student, teacher and the first headmistress of BBGS Primary 2, the school crest was designed by a BBGSian, Wong Chi Yin.
The two hills with the star overhead are a constant reminder to us that we must climb the bukit (hill) to reach the bintang (star).

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or badge:
“...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
