Brigidine College Randwick is a systemic Roman Catholic secondary day school for girls located in Randwick, a south-eastern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

History

The College was founded by the Brigidine Sisters in September 1901. The Congregation of Brigidine Sisters, founded in Ireland by Bishop Daniel Delaney in 1807, has as their motto "Fortiter et Suaviter", translated as "With Strength and Gentleness".[2] Based upon the Delaney family crest, the unique Brigid's cross and the Lamp of Learning are incorporated into this worldwide Brigidine symbol.

School song

The school song is Hymn to St Brigid with music by MS and words by Mother Cecelia, written in {{circa|1911}}:

Far above enthroned in glory

Sweetest Saint of Erin's Isle

See thy children kneel before thee

Turn on us a Mother's smile.

Sancta Mater, hear our pleading

Faith and hope and holy love

Sweet St Brigid, Spouse of Jesus,

Sent to us from Heaven above.

Sweet St Brigid, Erin's children,

Far and near o'er land and sea

In the world and in the cloister

Fondly turn with love to thee.

Sancta Mater, sooth the mourner

Shield the weary tempted soul

Sweet St Brigid, guide thy children

To thy bright and happy home.
