Leadership
The College provides many opportunities for students to experience and exhibit leadership.
The College has a Captain, Vice-Captains, a Sports' Captain and House Prefects. Additionally, there are Captains for the various co-curricular disciplines.
Leadership is a particular responsibility of all Year 12 students. Moreover, students have a voice in their school through the Student Council. The Council is elected each term and liaises with the College Captains regarding student activities and suggestions. Shared responsibility is a natural part of life for Brigidine students.
Brigidine also has committees which are active in areas such as:
- Liturgy
- Fundraising Catering
- Library School Magazine
- Spirit
These co-curricular committees provide our students with new skills and a wealth of learning experiences to broaden their horizons.
