Brigidine College St Ives is dedicated to the education of girls in the Catholic tradition. The College prides itself on prov ... iding a holistic education for girls, combining the spiritual, academic, physical and cultural dimensions of learning, creating women of spiritual, moral and ethical strength. Brigidine girls are taught leadership skills and are provided with opportunities to lead from the time they arrive. They are inspired to value learning, to be true to themselves and to honour their spiritual heritage. They are challenged to act in the world with "strength and gentleness", our treasured motto. This is a school where girls can be themselves – as glorious as that is. They can laugh, cry, yell out loud, work hard or run around and be a little foolish– in the playground, on the stage or at their carnivals. They don’t have to impress everyone; just learn how to be themselves. While they are learning how to be themselves they are in an environment that supports their growth, develops their resilience, allows them to make mistakes and helps them understand and develop the solution. They are challenged in their learning to see possibilities, grow in understanding and value success. There is a spirit at Brigidine worth exploring. read more
