"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle
Once again, we navigate a changing space as our Covid restrictions ease and we move from surveillance testing to symptomatic testing. Here at the College, we continue to be hyper-vigilant about hygiene and cleanliness and we ask for your support in this by not sending your daughter to school if she is unwell. While girls no longer have to wear masks at school, students are required to wear a mask when catching public transport.
Mental Health
According to the World Health Organisation, mental health is a ‘state of wellbeing in which every individual realises her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her community'. Here at Brigidine, we aim to work with each student and with our families to support the mental health of our young women. In morning Pastoral Care our PEEC program is designed to instil in your daughter the “tools” to cope with the many challenges that she faces each day. Positive mental health ensures that a student is able to deal with the normal day-to-day situations that unfold. Whilst it is normal to experience ups and downs, if issues start to impact your daughter’s quality of life then it is imperative that she seeks professional support. As we near the assessment period, some students may experience a heightened feeling of stress. If your daughter would like to chat with the College Counsellor, please speak with her Pastoral Care Coordinator for a referral.
Uniform Expectations
Students should remember that they are ambassadors for Brigidine and so by wearing the uniform correctly and neatly, they show pride in their school and its good name. It is expected that students will conform to the uniform code like this, in itself, is an exercise in self-discipline. The school uniform is also a sign of belonging to the College and the appropriate items are to be worn as required.
