Our Curriculum
St Brigid's Primary School Mordialloc
“Where every child is known, challenged and supported to be lifelong learners.”
At St Brigid’s we value a sense of belonging and community, where we foster and nurture the whole child. We offer a diverse curriculum which encourages children to be curious, passionate and motivated learners, with qualities and skills that enable them to adapt to our changing world and be lifelong learners. Our students are encouraged to be active and responsible members of the local, national and global communities. Our learning is derived from the Victorian Curriculum and “HORIZONS OF HOPE”: An Education Framework for the Archdiocese Of Melbourne, which maps out our current educational landscape drawing out the
challenges and opportunities for learning and teaching in a Catholic context.
