Enjoy this reflection from one of our Brigidine dads:
My daughter just graduated from Brigidine College and I wanted to pass on my thanks to the Principal Mr Brendan Cahill and every member of staff. From my perspective Brigidine College is without peer. It provided my daughter a caring and nurturing environment during her formative years for which I will always be deeply grateful. The school's values are an integral part of her life now. From my daughter’s perspective ...well, she simply loved everything about the school, its teachers and her fellow students. It was as much family as it was an education and it definitely inspired both her mind and spirit. Brigidine College is an amazing place. Thank you for the incredible job you're doing.
Parent of recent Year 12 Graduate
Dr Amanda Rojek, 2012 Rhodes Scholar and Senior of 2003, continues to inspire a new generation of young Brigidine women. On her most recent visit, she said:
"You choose your future. It doesn't matter what OP you get. You are already incredible (Brigidine) women who will change the world. Just work hard and follow your passions."
Like all schools associated with Kildare Ministries (PJP), we value each person and recognise creation as sacred. Our College is a place where hope, justice and courage are hallmarks, and where we continue to interpret the Brigidine Sister’s faith ethos of Strength and Gentleness for our contemporary community.
In 2024, our College Community embraces the opportunity to reflect on the College theme of ‘hope – bringing a sense of purpose’. To connect our spiritual, personal, social and intellectual selves in the imagination and energy of our young women.
Our sense of purpose to educate in faith will build a strong learning community into the future.
May 2024 be a rewarding year for everyone.
A Naoimh Bhrid, gui Orainn.
Mr Brendan Cahill
