School Priorities
In practice, reflection on the Brigidine Core Values and the Mission
Statement has led to a number of priorities which we aim to develop.
1. Religious Education, prayer and Liturgy that encourages
engagement and reflection within the Catholic Tradition and the
development of Spirituality.
2. A curriculum that engages and challenges students to enjoy
learning, develop thinking skills and achieve their best, with pedagogy
that suits the different learning styles and needs of students.
3. Emphasis on literacy and numeracy.
4. A Pastoral Care Program that welcomes all, and assists
students to develop life skills which enable them to be resilient
members of society. 5. A Co Curricular program that offers
opportunities for students to develop social and leadership skills
as well as interests which they can take on into adulthood.
