Life as a Boarding StudentSt Brigid’s College caters for 150 boarding students between Years 8 and 12 from all areas of Western Australia and Overseas.
The girls form wonderfully lifelong friendships beginning with supporting each other in their transition to boarding. Girls are assisted in this transition through the provision of experiences which enable them to develop self esteem, competency and self-sufficiency. Boarding students are encouraged to be responsible for their own actions and to live harmoniously with their peers. A lively social and co-curricular program keeps the girls busy and active and promotes effective adjustment to their new lifestyle, in a caring atmosphere which encourages parent involvement. Boarding Facilities
The boarding section comprises four houses, Veronica, Teresa, Mercy and Catherine. Each of the houses has a meals/kitchen area, where the girls have breakfast and can prepare small snacks. There is also a lounge room where the girls can relax, watch television and work on computers. There is an activities room which is common to all the houses and this provides the girls with a pool table, table tennis and a wonderful large flat screen television for recreational use. The boarding section has access to the College’s information technology network and students use the facilities in the evenings and at weekends. The Sr Mary Rose indoor pool and fitness centre provides a refreshing splash for the girls on weekends and after school. A personal trainer in the fitness centre tailors a fitness program suited to the girls needs. Boarders also enjoy extensive sporting and music involvement. An eight bed sick bay is available for the girls when they are unwell where the girls are cared for by a carer during the day. A Day in the Life of a Boarder
