Last Friday, St Brigid’s Catholic College celebrated their 10 year anniversary at Magenta Shores Golf & Country Club It was an amazing evening, attended by students, staff, alumni, and members of the local community.

The evening began with a heartfelt speech from our Principal, who reflected on the school’s journey over the past decade. Student leaders took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recalling memorable events that have enriched the educational experience for our students.  A trivia session followed, challenging both staff and alumni!

To conclude the night, student leaders presented gifts of appreciation to our founding Principal, Julie Terry, and current Principal, Adam Murdoch, acknowledging their dedication and hard work over the past decade.

As the guests departed, there was a palpable sense of pride and optimism, a testament to the enduring legacy of the school and its unwavering commitment to excellence and community.

A massive thank you to everyone who could attend, it was a lovely night celebrating with our community.

Dear St Brigid’s Community,

Our Social Justice campaign for this term is focused on the St Vincent De Paul’s Winter Appeal. We are asking for students to Bring: blankets, tracksuits (old), jackets, old sleeping bags, and/or Woolworths essential gifts cards that can be spent on groceries.

We will be having an inter-House competition to see who is the House with the most Compassionate Heart. However, the appeal is not for our own benefit, but to help those at St Vincent De Paul’s, who do an amazing job helping those in true need in our community.

Please watch the following video to have a deeper appreciation for the efforts of St Vincent De Paul: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNAKa-ZGmMQ

Once again, I thank you all for your caring and kinds hearts and your contributions to our community.

Dear St Brigid’s Community,

This is an important reminder that road safety is a shared responsibility. Please discuss this notice with your family.
To increase the safety on Carters Road, we have been advised that the Traffic Police may increase their presence during peak times to enforce adherence to the road rules outside all schools on Carters Road, including no-parking zones.

How can you help?
As the Central Coast’s population increases, schools on Carters Road are experiencing congestion during the peak morning and afternoon periods. This is placing pressure on the surrounding road environments and our neighbours.

Specific to St Brigid’s, we ask parents/carers and families to consider the following:

1. Have children walk to College or walk from a ‘drop off point’ outside of Carters Road.
2. Drop off/pick up in designated areas as quickly as possible, while adhering to the 40km/ph speed limit. (Note: The grassed strip across from the College gates is a NO PARKING zone).
3. Carpool for drop off/pick up where appropriate.
4. Use pedestrian crossings at all times when moving to the opposite side of Carters Road.

Staff Car Park
All parents/carers are reminded that the Staff Carpark (third gate) is restricted to staff/contractors and deliveries. Families should not be using this space for drop off/pick-ups due to limited space and safety reasons.  

Please find attached information provided by the Central Coast Council.

Thank you for your support.

On Anzac Day our College community honoured the spirit of the ANZACs at Doyalson RSL. Together, our students and staff marched with pride, for the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We would like to commend our College Captains, Tom and Laura, who represented with their inspiring speeches. They spoke with eloquence and respect. Their words resonated with everyone in attendance, reminding them of the dedication and bravery of those who served.

We are immensely proud of everyone who participated today.

Lest we Forget.

On Friday, March 22nd, St Brigid’s Youth Ministry hosted the first Combined Catholic Coasties event for 2024. We had 130 students from St Joseph’s, St Peter’s, Mackillop and St Brigid’s join us for the event.

The night followed an established format of Youth Ministry Events up here on the coast. We had a light meal together, followed by live music, games, Drama and Worship. Our focus was on Easter being Holy Week for Christians world-wide. The high was the respect and reverence shown during worship where Father Baby blessed all students and the families for Easter.

A big thank you to the teachers who supported this event, our student leaders who contributed and ran the event, the band, the entertainment crew and all the students and staff from the other three schools.

This event was a wonderful combination of fun, social interaction and spiritual enrichment in a safe environment.
