St Brigid's Catholic Primary School Kyogle endeavours to enhance the potential of each student. The school's motto Strong in Faith relates to the fact that the parish remains at the heart of our mission and has done so for nearly a century. At St Brigid's we work toward the spiritual, intellectual, social and emotional development of every child. We work to form collaborative partnerships across our community and provide an education that is safe, challenging and engaging. At our core is Jesus Christ and the values of His teaching, hence Religious Education is a major focus. Students engage in a literacy and numeracy block each day and we look to integrate these elements across the curriculum. The school focus on literacy incorporates the SoundsWrite phonics program and the explicit teaching of writing scaffolds. Staff development in numeracy teaching, tied to parent education, has seen improvement in student results, whilst the QuickSmart numeracy program has proved a great success. A highlight for stage 3 students is the history evening entitled Great Aussie Icons. The school also hosts a creative arts enrichment day for the Richmond school cluster, with staff running workshops. Some features of school achievement in Sport and Physical Education include representation from St Brigid’s at district, zone and state level, and the provision of opportunity in areas as diverse as horse riding and canoeing. A daily highlight is the physical activity session run by the year 6 class and a twice weekly after school sport program. The school is future thinking with interactive whiteboards in each teaching space. St Brigid's continues to have an enhanced reputation in our district through the concert band, choir and an ongoing invitation to parents to celebrate aspects of their child's learning. The Parish School Forum remains central to advising the school and meets monthly. We have a dedicated and collegial staff striving for quality teaching and learning for all students.
