Brigidine College is an Independent Catholic Girls' College, located in the suburb of Indooroopilly less than 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the center of Brisbane, Australia. It was established in 1929 by the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Brigid and continues in their tradition of Strength and Gentleness today.
It is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA) and the Catholic Secondary Schoolgirls' Sports Association(CaSSSA).
The College was founded by the Brigidine Sisters in 1929. The school motto - "Fortiter et Suaviter" (translated as Strength and Gentleness), is reflected in every aspect of the school's activities and policies. During 2014, a number of celebrations were held to mark the school's 85 year anniversary including:
There are six Houses at Brigidine College:
Each house is led by two House Captains, who are also known as Prefects. Each girl's House is like her 'family' at school.
A new dress uniform was fully implemented in 2016. See College website for details. The uniform includes a tartan dress, white socks and black formal shoes.
