History:
St Brigid's School commenced as a two-room school in 1911 with three Brigidine nuns and 33 students. Sisters from Kilbreda Convent, Mentone, came by steam train daily to school. Mother Angus was the first principal of St Brigid's School. Mother Carmel was appointed as principal in 1916 and remained in this position for 46 years. The Brigidine sisters ran the school until 1991. Current enrolment is approximately 300 students.
