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.
