As a proud Catholic school, the college is built on the Charism of St Brigid. The staff and students of Brigidine College are called to remember, and be witness to, St Brigid’s remarkable concern for the poor and the oppressed, her patience, humility, joy, steadfast faith and her willingness to serve others. They are called to live out the pillars of Brigid; being people of courage, compassion, hospitality, hope and justice.
The college stands today on the original land purchased in 1901. Moreton Bay fig trees, which were set out in the 1860s Aeolia Estate gardens, still flourish in the school grounds and are listed with the National Trust. School buildings that date from 1901 create an historic precinct. Within these historic buildings, Brigidine College has specialist rooms to cater for a wide variety of subjects.
