St Brigid’s Gwynneville
A Catholic Parish Primary School
Our students feel supported – academically as well as spiritually, emotionally, socially and physically. We provide an engaging faith and contemporary learning environment, where we are committed to excellence and growth and every student's individuality and uniqueness are recognised and valued.
Our personalised teaching and learning is designed to meet each individual student's needs, and we encourage active student participation in learning by using 21st century skills and competencies. We have excellent buildings and facilities, and beautiful outdoor learning spaces and areas that provide students with wide choice of options for their learning and play.
Inspired by our Catholic values and the Benedictine tradition, St Brigid's is committed to developing leaders of faith, justice and learning.
We provide a positive environment to support our students in seeking God within a community of prayer, service and hospitality faithful to the mission of Jesus.
We encourage our students to listen with the ear of the heart to work for the common good and respond to our neighbour and all of creation with energy, loving generosity and right relationships.
Underlying our school’s commitment to authentic learning is our emphasis on developing the skills and competencies of critical and creative thinking, collaboration and communication. Students set learning goals, deconstruct learning intentions, co-construct success criteria, engage in higher order thinking tasks and choice-based learning. They use technology, our flexible learning spaces and teacher expertise to enhance their learning opportunities.
The school has many wonderful facilities including contemporary indoor and outdoor learning spaces and play spaces. The learning environments have been renovated in line with current understanding of the wide range of student learning styles. All of our classrooms and library have spaces for students to work, including:
Our highly experienced, proficient and dedicated teachers and support staff work to provide effective learning experiences for every student in their care.
