Wallpaper Wednesday: The Berkeley Institute
The latest design in Bernews’ weekly Wallpaper Wednesday series allows you to celebrate one of the island’s most distinguished schools, with The Berkeley Institute marking their 124th anniversary this week.
According to the school’s website, “On September 6, 1897, The Berkeley Institute [elementary and high school] was opened on the ground floor of the Samaritan’s Hall, Court Street, Hamilton. At that time, it was a private school [parents had to pay a fee]. The principal was George A. DaCosta.
“There were fifteen boys and twelve girls present. On November 25, 1899, a parcel of land was purchased from a Miss Eve for 300 pounds. This is the site of the Berkeley Institute school on St. John’s Road, Pembroke. In 1933, it became a secondary school only.”
The design — which features the Berkeley logo along with the school’s traditional green and gold colours — is also available below as a Facebook profile cover image, and you can check back on Bernews every Wednesday for our latest free phone wallpaper download.
