Bloomfield Collegiate School

Bloomfield Collegiate School is a controlled grammar school for girls located in Ballyhackamore in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[1]

History

Bloomfield was founded in 1905, one of a number of private school foundations of that era. It was originally proprietary (owned by the headmistress), co-educational, and accepted boarding students. It discontinued co-education in 1915.[2]

House System

Bloomfield has a house system consisting of four houses named after previous headmistresses: Clarke, Curran, Spencer and Walker. The houses are each represented by four colors: blue (Clarke), red (Curran), green (Spencer) and yellow (Walker)

Notable former pupils
gollark: DFPWM, I'll link it.
gollark: Natively, Computronics tapes are basically just big binary storage things you can playback DFPWM from, so my thing consists of an encoder which converts whatever input to WAV to DFPWM using external tools, as well as reading their metadata and adding a metadata block to the start of the tape to be read.
gollark: That's Minecraft Bedrock Edition, except it's monetized horribly and doesn't have mod support.
gollark: I actually made a program for CC which plays music off tapes with metadata, which is neat.
gollark: That is true.
