Welcome from our Principal

Every child, known by name.

At St Brigid's we know every child by name. We are a warm, working Catholic primary school where children are encouraged to be curious, kind and courageous — and where families are part of everything we do. Faith is the ground we stand on: it shapes how we teach, how we care for one another, and how we make room for every child who comes through our gate.

The St Brigid's experience

How a week feels here

One community, held together by faith, learning and wellbeing.

A class of young children sitting on the floor seen from behind during a quiet moment of prayer, facing a simple wooden cross, a candle and a woven St Brigid's cross, with a teacher beside them. — Faith at St Brigid's — a quiet moment in the ordinary week.

01 · Faith

Faith, lived quietly through the ordinary week.

Catholic life at St Brigid's is gentle and real — class prayer, parish Masses, feast days and service to others, woven through the ordinary week.

A calm, high-expectation classroom.

Strong literacy and numeracy, hands-on inquiry, and specialist music, sport and languages — learning that is calm, purposeful and full of high expectations.

Children in green uniforms and sun hats tending a raised kitchen-garden bed, one holding a basket of freshly harvested lettuce and greens in warm side light.

03 · Wellbeing

Every child known and cared for.

Pastoral care, friendship and resilience programs, and a kitchen garden where children learn by growing — every child known, and every child cared for.

Our kitchen garden takes root

Year 4 harvested their first winter vegetables this month, cooked with them, and shared the meal with our parish elders. Children cooked what they grew and shared the meal with parish elders — an ordinary sign of the community St Brigid's is built on.
