Learning opportunities at St Brigid’s are many and diverse, designed to meet the interests and developmental needs of all students. Programs are intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person, with students being encouraged to ask constantly “how” and “why” as well as “what”. Our standards are high.

The Curriculum Framework, mandated for all schools in Western Australian, provides the scaffolding for these developmental learning opportunities and assists teachers to map the progress of students through different levels of achievement in the Arts, English, Health and Physical Education, Languages other than English, Mathematics, Science, Society and the Environment, Technology and Enterprise.

To provide focus for the early adolescent years and raise standards of achievement further, the College is at the consideration phase of the implementation of the International Baccalaureate for Years 6-9. 2006 will see the trialling of aspects of the program in year 8, followed by implementation scheduled to commence in 2007.

Learning takes place both on campus using the latest learning technologies and off campus taking advantage of partnerships and resources established with the wider community. Excursions, camps, sports, special interest clubs and cultural activities frequently provide interesting learning experiences outside the classroom. Enrichment and extension activities support students with special needs.

While completing the new Western Australian Certificate of Education, in the young adulthood years students have the opportunity of more direct experiences of the world of tertiary studies and work, through negotiated individual learning and career plans as a part of the Australian Qualifications Framework .

Students are challenged to become Responsible Christian Learners, inner-directed individuals of Christian virtue, capable of free choice and of making value-judgements, according to the Bishops’ Mandate. Religious Education, service learning and meaningful liturgical experiences as well as every learning area can teach something about God, and therefore support students to achieve their full potential.
