Our Beginnings
From humble beginnings as a tiny school, accommodating only 33 students at its outset in 1911, St Brigid’s has quickly gained popularity, attracting a reputation for its individual and progressive approach to teaching and learning. St Brigid’s now boasts over 200 students, with the majority of families situated in Mordialloc.
Our Patron Saint is St Brigid of Kildare who is the patroness of those who have a care for the earth, for justice and equality, for peace and reconciliation. She is a model for a contemplative life.

TheirCare - Before & After School Care
Our school has partnered with an independent provider called TheirCare to provide exceptional Outside School Hours Care services for our school community.
The program is available for all children at St Brigid’s Primary School from 7:00am until 8:45am in the morning and from 3:15pm until 6:30pm each school day.
During School Holidays & Pupil Free Days the service will operate from 7:00am until 6:00pm.
