VCE OUTDOOR & ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CAMP 

Students have recently been on camp to Anglesea, learning about recreational activities, types of conservation and commercialisation and their impacts to the environment both positive and negative. Students participated in a range of activities including sea kayaking, snorkeling with seals in Queenscliff, surfing and a high ropes course at Live Wire park. The trip was a great learning experience for the students.

Class of 2023

Yesterday, we farewelled our Year 12 cohort as they finished their final day of secondary schooling. Here is a look at their final week, where students were looking great in their costumes with the themes of Aussie icons, teachers, and op-shop formal! Yesterday we celebrated their time at St Brigid's with an assembly which included the Year 12 Oscar Awards and the passing of the baton to the future leaders of the school.

We wish you all the best for your upcoming exams and look forward to celebrating your graduation with you soon!

Year 12 VCE Vocational Major

Our Year 12 VCE Vocational Major students planned and implemented a community project that focused on how we, as a community, connect to the river. They organised a presentation to our Year 7 students, with Annie Hobby and Sue Sheridan from the Horsham Rural City Council presenting. They spoke about the redevelopment of the river front and the role and function of Landcare. The Year 7 students then participated in a river walk which covered the environmental importance of trees and vegetation and the health and wellbeing benefits of the walking tracks and other facilities available along the river front.
