Catholic School
St Brigid’s College is committed to providing excellence in education within a Christ-centred environment.
Our aim is to support and nurture every student both in an out of the classroom, helping them develop into contributing members of the community imbued with the spirit of Mercy.
Religious Education
Religious education is the first learning area at St Brigid’s College. It focuses on the knowledge and understanding of the Gospel as it is handed on by the Catholic Church to those who follow Christ in today’s world. The content and processes of the learning area are intended to ensure that students, through a process of cultural, systematic and critical reflection, learn the teachings of the Gospels and understand what it means to be a Christian and how Christians live their lives.
Religious Education at St Brigid’s College follows the Perth Archdiocese Religious Education Units of Work. These cover a range of concepts and topics in a progressive and developmental manner. All students participate in daily Religious Education lessons and within each class, there is a designated Prayer Area with a focus on daily prayer and reflection. Students partake in regular Liturgies and Class Masses where they have the opportunity to receive the Sacraments of Penance and First Eucharist. Liturgical Feast days are also celebrated within the College and with the wider community.
In Three and Four-year-old Kindergarten, Religious Education is woven throughout the day in the form of prayer, Godly play, God talk and biblical storytelling. The aim of the RE program at this level is to introduce students to the person of Jesus and some of the basic teachings of the Church.
The Catholic School Difference
The vision of St Brigid, Catherine McAuley and The Sisters of Mercy to bring education to young women, has continued in our commitment to provide an education that remains in step with the demands of the 21st century. The college continues to strive for excellence both in and outside of the classroom. The development of strong, positive, Christian relationships between members of our community and an excellent academic standard is at the forefront of our mission.
