Blue Bird High School & College
Est. – 1961 Mirer Maidan, Subid Bazar, Sylhet.

History of Blue Bird School:  It was 1959/60, Mr. Ashraf Ali, had got a permission of English medium KG School. Then, he tried to start the school, but didn’t get any place & had no sufficient economic support to establish. Actually, he was service holder, involved with an insurance company. He didn’t effort time & money to establish a school. Oneday, in 1960, Mr. Ashraf Ali went to meet with Dr. M Ahmed home and gave his permit to him & requested to establish the school if possible. Than, in 1960, Dr. M Ahmed aggregated Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy & others and made a school management committee of 21 members for Blue Bird School, where Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy was the President & Dr. M Ahmed was the Secretary. Other renowned Members were: Mrs. Fahmida Rashid Chy, Mr. Farruk Rashid Chy, Dr. Krishno Kumar Pal, Mr. Ashraf Ali, Dr. Jamshed Bakth & others. Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy & Dr. M Ahmed started the school at the Manik Pir Road by making a Tin-shed house with 2 (Two) rooms by their own cost and sending their own 4 (Four) children on that school and requested all others to send their children. Than, school started with 5 (Five) students on the temporary campus at Manikpir Road, where now established Lions Eye Hospital. There were only 1 (One) classroom & 1 (One) office room and 5 (Five) students were admitted to Nursery Class in 1961. Later, School management committee moved door to door of the houses of different areas of this Sylhet town for collecting more students and lastly they achieved to increase it 11 (Eleven) in 1961. At the end of 1961, Dr. M Ahmed & Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy managed a permanent building by taking leased from the Ministry through the Deputy Commissioner of Sylhet, Mr. Samsul Haq Chisti for school premises of Blue Bird, which was abandoned two storied building at the Naya Sarak Road (opposite corner of Sylhet Jail). For taking facility from Govt., the school management committee was reshuffled by giving chair to the Deputy Commissioner of Sylhet, Mr. Samsul Haq Chisti, as a President, Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy was Sr. Vice-President and Dr. M Ahmed was the Secretary. They renovated the building. There were total 8 (Eight) rooms. At the ground floor, 1 (One) hall room at the entrance, where daily assembly was held, 1 (One) for Principal & Teachers Room, 1 (One) for Office staff & 1 (One) for classroom at the left corner of the building. At the 1st floor, there were 6 (Six) classrooms. From 1961 to 1971, there were Nursery Class, KG Class, Class 1(One), Class 2(Two) & Class 3(Three). In 1971, after liberation, school faced typical crisis like as shortage of teachers & students. Some foreign teachers left this country and many students also left this school. Specially, Acting Principal Ms. J Capstared, Mrs. James, Ms. W A Thomas, Ms. S Sowming & others were left this country after the war in 1971. Due to absent of principal, management committee had given charge to Mrs. Sajeda Khanam as a Principal. 2 (Two) peoples Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy (Vice-President) & Dr. M Ahmed (Secretary) tried heart & soul to save the school. Even they paid the salary of teachers & staffs from their own pocket. In 1973, they made a tin-shaded 1 (One) storied another building with two rooms at the right side of the main building. Where they started Class 4 (Four). In 1974, they opened Class 5 (Five). Day by day, the schools become renowned & famous English school in Sylhet town. Also once, many students appeared at the admission test to get chance. In 1976, Blue Bird School had begun a new journey from a new place for the new generation on the earth. Former Sylhet Sanskrit College campus was occupied by Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), Sylhet Sector, after the liberation war in 1971. 2 (Two) peoples, Dr. M Ahmed & Mr. Farruk Rashid Chy met several times with the Director General of BDR, Major General Golam Dastogir and for their request General Dastogir agreed to shifting the fully armed BDR battalion from the city area. Major General Golam Dastogir was a very kind-hearted man and he had taken all necessary action to shift the BDR battalion from Sanskrit College Campus to the present Akhalia Camp address. He also requested to given leased in favour of Blue Bird School. Dr. M Ahmed & Mr. Farruk Rashid Chy had taken leased from Land Ministry for the campus of Blue Bird School after hard trying of 2 years and also taken all necessary permission from Education, Defense & other related ministry and authority. Also they had taken leased another campus for Junior Section, which was very nearer to the main campus. Blue Bird School had got new address, new campus, and new premises. From 1977, Blue Bird School started his journey from the present campus and we wish it will move forward with his own dignity and shower his blessing light to the upcoming new generation. In 1977, School added another new class, which is class 6 (Six). Than, every year Authority of School added 1 (One) class. Like that way, in 1983, they started class 10 (Ten). By which students of Blue Bird School had appeared at the SSC exam for the first time in 1984. Later, many students had achieved 1st Division with holding placed on the board, GPA 5+ & many more. Even on the basis of percentages of passed, Blue Bird achieved cent percent (100%) records on SSC. Every year hundreds of students have been passing from this school to serve the world with dignity & glory of a Blue Birdian. In 2006, Blue Bird High School started his college section that means Class XI (Eleven) & Class XII (Twelve). Here also the student of Blue Bird achieved cent percent records in Science, Arts & other section with GPA 5+. It is very sad to tell, we always try to cover the truth story. Some people who kept highest contribution to establish Blue Bird School were: Late, Mr. Aminur Rashid Chy, Late, Dr. M Ahmed (was Secretary from 1961 to 1978), Mrs. Sajeda Khanam & later, Mrs. Rabeya Khan Ahmed. In 1961 & 1971, school had become shut downed. Then, Mr. Aminur Rashid & Dr. M Ahmed had taken all risk to start it again. But, we don’t think, man is mortal, but truth never dies. Everybody will leave this world one day. But, what we are learning to our next generation, how to become jealous, un-respectful and telling lie. But, we don’t think, it inspires that corruption, which leads to go ahead this country from all other countries of this world day by day. And one day, this will take us to unpredictable social & economical condition within near future, which destroys you, me & all. Nobody regrets for you, me or, anybody. Thanks to all.
