Archbishop’s 2023 LifeLink Day – Forum for Secondary Schools This morning St Brigid’s College was one of multiple Catholic schools across WA who attended the Archbishop’s 2023 LifeLink Day – Forum for Secondary Schools. The LifeLink Day Forum is an opportunity for students attending Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Perth to join together to learn about how the Church’s social service agencies reach out to provide practical care and direct assistance to thousands of people in need each year. This year LifeLink Day 2023 will be launched on Wednesday 7 June 2023. LifeLink Day provides a wonderful opportunity for students attending Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Perth to join together to show their support for the Church’s social service agencies – agencies which on behalf of us all, reach out to provide practical care and direct assistance to thousands of people in need each year. A key takeaway from the day was in the words of the Archbishop that at the heart LifLink is an appeal to all to support those in need and it is us living our Christian faith as we listen to the needs and do our part. “I hear but I forget, but when I see I remember, and I do I understand.” Our Head of Faith and Mission, Mr Adrian Martino, recently sent out communication to our school community on our Term 2 LifeLink Day activities: Each year in Term 2, our fundraising efforts assist LifeLink Catholic Caring Agencies within the Archdiocese of Perth. This year we are holding two concurrent events: Winter Appeal — Weeks 3 – 5. Each family is asked to bring to school, non- perishable cans, goods and donations (see attached list of suggested items) that will assist ‘The Shopfront’, a LifeLink Agency supporting needy families in the Archdiocese of Perth. St Pat’s Community Support Centre, who we have supported with donations in the past, have also requested support from us as they are experiencing even greater need than usual for this time of year. Each House will create a ‘hamper stack’ in Student Reception with their donated goods. House points to be awarded according to the amount donated by each House. Donated goods will then be sent to The Shopfront & St Pat’s Community Support Centre. Gold Coin Challenge — later this term the Young Mercies for Vinnies group will organise an event requiring a gold coin donation from each student (details to follow). House points to be awarded for the most coins collected. Your generosity in supporting these two events will ensure that the wonderful work carried out by LifeLink Agencies and St Pat’s continues in our local community. More information regarding LifeLink Agencies can be found at: https://lifelink.com.au/ and St Pat’s Community Support Centre https://stpats.com.au/ Read More

Boarding At St Brigid’s College, A Snapshot Sending your child to Boarding at a new school may be the biggest and most important decision you make in your life. Nestled in the Perth Hills of Lesmurdie, St Brigid’s College aprovides full boarding facilities, activities and a tailored program for each year and level of student enrolled. Our College also work together to prepare your child for their boarding journey and for Year 7 Boarders beginning in 2024, the Colleges have the Boarding Ready Programme where Boarders: CONNECT with other students who will be attending the same boarding school; LEARN about elements of their new school and new boarding environment; and DEVELOP confidence in order to support their transition. —- NURTURED LIVING AT ST BRIGID’S BOARDING When a parent considers Boarding for their child, they know that they are about to embark on one of their child’s biggest of life’s journeys but it’s a journey for the parent as well. That is why St Brigid’s College doesn’t just enrol a student at Boarding, the whole family is enrolled by making sure that a parent is provided with the assurance that their family will have a the best experience possible by creating a supportive environment with tailored supports. Boarding at St Brigid’s aims to recreate many aspects of home and a conducive environment to cater for our Boarders through the varying stages of their spiritual, emotional, cultural and social development. We are home to all our local Boarders who come from regional and rural locations, as well as International Boarders, and when requested, we also have local Boarders who join us for short terms. When enrolled, our Boarders are academically supported with set study times and tutors who assist their learning growth and on weekends they enjoy recreational activities ranging from shopping therapy to ice skating and even in-house pamper sessions. Our Boarders also have full access to the school facilities which include a heated swimming pool, fitness room and tennis courts. If any of our young people need additional support because they are feeling homesick, anxious, stress or just experiencing general teenage troubles, our College Councilor makes a dedicated visit once a week to help them, through gentle discussions and strategies. Our stay-in House Mums also provide the nurturing support, guidance and advise when needed to help the young growing minds in their care develop a strong sense of self assurance.
