Catholic Identity

Catholic Identity

St Brigid’s School is an integral part of the wider parish community and as such, recognises the importance of its role in building a community, which is supportive of children, staff, parents, and parishioners.

We continue the message of Jesus by recognising the value and dignity of everyone within the community.

 

We provide an environment where:

  • Every person feels safe and nurturing
  • Everyone has a sense of belonging and an appreciation of their worth
  • Everyone can contribute to the community of the school and continue their journey in faith
  • Every person is responsible for God’s creation

 

As a Catholic School, we educate and support children to participate in the living traditions and faith experiences of the Catholic Church. We work in partnership with parents and recognise them as the primary educators in nurturing their child/children in the faith. We also work in partnership with the Parish to initiate children into the sacramental life of the church community.

To encourage growth in spiritual awareness, we acknowledge many ways of praising God through liturgy and prayer.

Celebration is an integral part of our community. At St Brigid’s we celebrate our relationship with each other and our relationship with the community. We also celebrate our achievements, diversity, sacramentality, culture, special days and events, family, and friends, through school and community gatherings and festivities, liturgy, prayer, and everyday life.
