The BSS School, a beacon of excellence in Kolkata, marked a historic milestone as it stepped into its 75th year on January 1, 2025. To celebrate this Platinum Jubilee, the school unveiled a bronze sculpture titled 'The Global Girl,' a gift to the city that symbolises the institution’s vision and legacy. This masterpiece, dedicated to the global aspirations of its students, captures the essence of a young girl holding a notebook – an emblem of education as the gateway to becoming a global citizen.
Crafted using the intricate lost wax method, the sculpture stands atop a terracotta brick pedestal, a nod to West Bengal's rich tradition of art and architecture. Terracotta, as both a medium and symbol, reflects the soil of the land and the cultural heritage of the region.
