Primary School

From Pre-Kindy to Year 6

The Primary School at St Brigid’s College is co-educational and caters for students from Kindergarten through to Year 6. The curriculum nurtures the development of the whole person in a Christ-centred environment firmly based on the Catholic tradition. Children are encouraged to develop independence of thought and to become responsible for their own learning.

Parents play an active and integral role in all areas of the Primary School. Their involvement and support are essential in providing the best possible education for all students. Students in the Primary School have ready access to educational facilities such as science laboratories, computer laboratories, the Performing Arts Centre, the swimming pool, tennis courts, ovals and the gymnasium. Students in Years 1-6 are part of the 1:1 iPad programme and all classrooms are equipped with digital technologies.

Bush School

St Brigid’s College resides in a beautiful hills landscape and recently teachers have implemented a Bush School Programme into the Early Years. The programme aims to engage students in nature play experiences and Bush School experiences offer meaningful, open-ended interactions to occur between children and the natural world around them. Bush School learning experiences develop children’s inquiry, exploration, and discovery through an authentic connection to nature. Bush School fosters an appreciation of the natural environment, develops environmental awareness and provides a platform for ongoing environmental education.

Our Inquiry Approach and beautiful environmental setting mean that classroom teachers can implement learning experiences that develop practices to promote sustainability and conservation. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills such as safe tool use, adhering to boundaries, caring for animals, fruit-bearing trees and running creeks.

Through these Bush School learning experiences, students develop attitudes of respect, curiosity, wonder and awe of the natural world around them.
