Position Details

St Brigid’s College was established in 1929 by the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy, West Perth congregation. The campus consists of a co-educational Primary School for Years Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 (predominately 2 streams) and a girls’ only day and boarding high school, Years 7 to 12.   From 12^th December 2011, as a result of the reconfiguration of the Sisters of Mercy to the newly formed Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea (ISMAPNG), the College came under the governance of Mercy Education Limited.

In the spirit of Catherine McAuley, and in the Mercy tradition, we seek to be people of faith, conscience and compassion who are committed to God and the service of others.
