Brigidine College is an Independent Catholic day school for girls in grades 7 to 12. It is located in the suburb of St. Ives, on the North Shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1954 by the Brigidine Sisters, Brigidine has a non-selective enrolment policy and it caters for approximately 900 students from years 7 to 12. The majority of students are drawn from the Northern Beaches, North Shore and Forest areas of Sydney.

The school is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[2] the Association of Independent Schools of New South Wales (AIS NSW),[3] the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia,[4] and is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Girls' Schools (AHIGS).[6]

History

The Brigidine Sisters opened Brigidine College, a secondary college for girls, on its current site in St Ives, on 9 February 1954, with nine foundation pupils.[5] The site on which the college was built had previously been an orchard and dairy, and was still surrounded by semi-rural properties.

The Brigidine Sisters remained the administrators and teachers of the College until 1995.[1]

Motto

The College Motto, Fortiter et Suaviter, often interpreted as "Strength and Gentleness", originates from the foundation of the Brigidine Congregation in Ireland by Bishop Daniel Delany in 1807.[1]
