St Brigid’s College

St Brigid's College offers quality education from Pre-K to Year 12. The college provides a co-ed primary and girls-only secondary environment, including boarding. Our commitment to 21st-century learning is reflected in state-of-the-art facilities, academic excellence and personal growth.

About the institution

Founded in 1929 by the Sisters of Mercy and situated in the hills of Lesmurdie, 25 minutes east of Perth, St Brigid’s College prides itself on the delivery of a quality education that caters for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. 

In our expansive and beautiful grounds, students experience a co-educational setting for Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 and then a girls only education, with boarding facilities, for 7 to 12. The vision of St Brigid’s, led by the legacy of Catherine McAuley and The Sisters of Mercy, is to bring education to young women. This is our continued commitment to provide an education that remains in step with the demands of the 21st century. The College’s ongoing building program ensures students have access to state-of-the-art facilities in the learning environment. The McAuley Wing Science and Technology Centre and the Fitness Centre incorporating an indoor heated swimming pool, are a testament to this. 

The grounds and buildings of St Brigid’s College provide the students with a sense of honouring the heritage and history of the College while providing them with open spaces and beautiful surroundings in appreciation of the Mercy tradition.

Secondary students are encouraged to pursue their personal excellence in a nurturing and supportive environment.

The WACE curriculum is delivered here at the College. Our students, teachers and parents, work in partnership to develop our learning and teaching programmes, ensuring that each of the nine learning areas address essential knowledge and skill.
