This is an important part of the orientation process for our families of Year 7 2018. Already all Year 7 2018 students and parents have been to our May Open Day Meet the Principal session and student activity and returned the Commitment Forms and Fee ($750) by Monday 17 July 2017. This payment is deducted from the first fees statement in 2018.  It is non-refundable if the enrolment is cancelled. At Parent Information Evening (parents only) on Tuesday 22 August 2017 at 6:00 pm all orientation paperwork is returned.  The evening includes information on practical issues (uniforms, books, fees, transport etc.) for the start of school in 2018. At this time also, an invitation for students to become involved in cocurricular activities, in Semester 2 2017, will be presented. Some activities may include: swimming, water polo, performing arts, etc. All girls in Year 7 2018 will partake in a student only Orientation Day on Thursday 23 November 2017. This will be an opportunity to become familiar with high school, their Big Sisters and how Brigidine works. We look forward to you joining the Brigidine community.

A much loved annual event on the Brigidine calendar, Dads and Daughters has become a favourite with all of our families. The function is sponsored by the College P&F.  Date claim it now.   Booking details will be available through the Community Portal in August. What a wonderful way to say "Happy Fathers' Day" to all the positive male role models in the lives of our young women.

Groups of students will travel to Noumea and Japan in this holiday break. The College has sister school agreements with schools in both locations.  Travel is a wonderful opportunity for students to practise their language skills and increase their cultural awareness of our neighbours. Our Multicultural Club have been busy making one thousand peace cranes to deliver to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan. 

How we treat each other and the earth are tightly interwoven into the fabric of the Brigidine charism.  We hear about conflicts every day in the news.  At the moment, Syria is uppermost in everyone’s mind. There is a groundswell among young people to create awareness to bring change to our world; to bring PEACE.  The International Day of Prayer for Peace which is held annually on 21 September focuses the attention of being the change we want to see in the world.  Become peacemakers in our own community in the hope of peace in the world. As 70% of the two billion poor in the world are women, our commitment to the option for the poor is a key to Catholic social teaching. It’s vital that our young Brigidine women are conscious of this fact and initiate action for peace. The College is strong on academic performances but gentle in the spirit of the Brigidine Sisters.  In that spirit, raising awareness about important social justice issues is embedded in the philosophy of the school. Peace, compassion and justice are our core values. The College will celebrate the International Day of Prayer for Peace on the last day of Term 3 - Friday 15 September 2017. "Peace be with you" .... the images show the whole College creating the sign of peace in 2013! Remember?
