What's happening in the English Faculty!

The English Learning Areas from St Brigid’s College, Horsham and Marian College, Ararat came together in Horsham for a collaborative professional learning day led by Kirstin Bourne.

The day provided an opportunity for teachers from both colleges to share and discuss English programs from Years 7–12, with a focus on the new Victorian Curriculum 2.0, text selections, program structures, engaging hands-on learning activities that can implemented in their teaching, and teaching resources. Staff engaged in rich professional dialogue, exchanged ideas, and shared resources to strengthen consistency and innovation across both schools.

Teams also worked collaboratively to set goals for 2026 and beyond, ensuring a continued focus on improving student learning and engagement in English. The day reflected a strong spirit of partnership, professional growth, and shared commitment to excellence in English education.

Year 3/4 Experience Day

We were delighted to welcome Grade 3 and 4 students from SMJ Horsham to St Brigid's this week! Students spent a few hours getting hands-on in our dedicated Science labs and new Food Technology spaces. Although these students are a few years away from secondary school, it’s never too early to start building confidence in a new learning environment. We look forward to seeing them on their next visit!
