SBC Embraces Global Education with Brazilian Students
In January this year, a remarkable journey began for a cohort of 1000  Brazilian students as they embarked on a  five-month ‘Winning the World’ educational exchange in various countries. 500 students were selected to explore opportunities in Australia, with a notable contingent of 100 finding themselves welcomed to Western Australia. St. Brigid’s College was selected to host nine students for six months, of which these students have since immersed themselves in our College and our Boarding community.  Over the past seven weeks, they have embraced their Australian experience with boundless enthusiasm, finding particular joy in the charming presence of our iconic kangaroos and koalas. This cultural exchange not only enriches academic pursuits but also fosters lasting friendships and provides our students with a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of our global community.

Dear Parents, Friends, Staff and Students of St Brigid’s College, This morning as I arrived on Campus just after 7.00a.m., I was greeted by a lovely vibe of activity. Parents, staff and students were gathered near the pool erecting gazebos, whilst others were delivering fresh fruit in preparation for a day of competitive fun. The Year 12 girls were being dropped off at the College or were parking their cars for an early breakfast at the Boarding House, whilst other students were arriving for early morning clubs and groups. The vibrancy of our community was fully exposed as we prepared for another wonderful day at St Brigid’s College. To read this week’s newsletter in full, please click here.
