St Brendan's was established in 1887 with an initial association with the Sisters of Charity, and later with the Sisters of Mercy from 1909 until 1991. Today St Brendan's School is an inner-suburban, co-educational Catholic primary school with a population of approximately 170 students from various ethnic backgrounds-this diversity is respected and celebrated by the school community. The school's curriculum includes Religious Education, a strong focus on literacy, numeracy, and the inquiry approach to learning. We provide many opportunities for young people to participate in a wide range of activities, including school camps, guitar, piano and tennis coaching. The learning areas are large, bright and airy and are well-equipped with the latest technology. The performing arts area, new contemporary library and sports hall help to provide an exciting and stimulating learning environment. We take seriously our responsibility for the well-being of students with an effective pastoral care system, and student Social Justice Leaders ensure the rights and responsibilities of all in our school community are upheld. Our parent community is encouraged to be, and is, closely involved with school activities.
