At St Brigid’s College, we light the way for all our students…..We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to become a successful learner and a confident, creative individual, who is not just good at learning but good at life. Many in the community are well aware of St Brigid’s College for students in Years 7 to 12. However, our Primary campus, located side-by-side to our Secondary campus, is filled daily with the laughter, learning and fun, in a high impact teaching environment. Our passionate and highly skilled educators utilise evidence-based and researched strategies, placing a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy in our classrooms. Through inquiry learning, project-based, and deep learning, students not only acquire knowledge but also learn how to apply it effectively in real-world scenarios. Our co-educational primary campus (Pre-Kindy to Year 6) is supported by our Head of Primary, Ms. Anne Tan, as well as our Deans of Students Ms. Christine Padua and Ms. Catherine Brink. Together they champion the education vision implemented daily, whilst, fostering a culture where our educators are inspired to evolve into proficient researchers and implementers of cutting-edge teaching methodologies across various disciplines, benefiting our young learners. If you’re considering enrolling your child at St Brigid’s College we warmly invite you to contact our College Registrar, Patty Majko at majko.patty@stbrigids.wa.edu.au or for a conversation, call us on 9290 4200.

Tiny Mic Ministry (TMM) has hit the ground running across the SBC campus this term. A brand-new initiative by Year 12 Leaders, Anja H (the spokesperson), Serena T (content developer) and Olivia R (fundraising & engagement officer). Tiny Mic Ministry is a 2024 Ministry initiative aimed at engaging more young people to be involved in fundraising events that better the lives of people less fortunate than ourselves. Conceptualised by Anja (inspired by a little bit of online shopping where she spotted the said Tiny Mic), the idea behind TMM was stemmed from the notion that people are less inclined to donate money when they don’t understand where the money is going. What better way to bring it to life but with some vibrant roving reporting around campus. As a Mercy school, St Brigid’s has a long history of providing assistance to our brothers and sisters in Australia and overseas. As the world around us changes, the ways we engage in raising funds and awareness needs to evolve. Tiny Mic Ministry aims to utilise the expansive platform of social media to raise awareness and much needed funds, for various initiatives throughout the year at SBC, in a fun and engaging way. We’ll be looking forward to more fourth-wall breaking news brought to us by our students behind Tiny Mic Ministry. Keep an eye on the SBC socials on Facebook and Instagram for more Tiny Mic Ministry videos and reels!

In January this year, a remarkable journey began for a cohort of 1000  Brazilian students as they embarked on a  five-month ‘Winning the World’ educational exchange in various countries. 500 students were selected to explore opportunities in Australia, with a notable contingent of 100 finding themselves welcomed to Western Australia. St. Brigid’s College was selected to host nine students for six months, of which these students have since immersed themselves in our College and our Boarding community.  Over the past seven weeks, they have embraced their Australian experience with boundless enthusiasm, finding particular joy in the charming presence of our iconic kangaroos and koalas. This cultural exchange not only enriches academic pursuits but also fosters lasting friendships and provides our students with a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of our global community.

We’ve reached the midway point of Term 1 and it has been five weeks of multiple activities, lessons and as always with more to look forward to at St Brigid’s. Today members of our College staff gathered for professional development whilst our students from K to 12 enjoy a long weekend. The greatest impact on a child’s learning is the teacher, and the continual commitment to building the capacity of staff will ensure that St Brigid’s College offers an elite educational programme for all students. Our priority at the College is to ensure that there are high levels of learning, every lesson, every day. Our students are encouraged to be active learners, ensuring that they are working as hard as our teachers in the classroom. You can read more here about all the things we’ve accomplished this week at St Brigid’s.
