Brigidine College Randwick is an independent Roman Catholic secondary day school for girls located in Randwick, an eastern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

History

[edit]

The college was founded by the Brigidine Sisters in September 1901. The Congregation of Brigidine Sisters, founded in Ireland by Bishop Daniel Delaney in 1807, has as their motto "Fortiter et Suaviter", translated as "With Strength and Gentleness".[2] Based upon the Delaney family crest, the unique Brigid's cross and the Lamp of Learning are incorporated into this worldwide Brigidine symbol.

Academic

[edit]

Brigidine College did very well in the 2007 HSC. The school ranked 30th in the state for English, with 100% of the students in Advanced English, English Extension 1 and Extension 2 being placed in the top two bands.[citation needed]
