St Brigid’s Collie Strategic Plan 2017-2019 (Version 1, 18th May, 2017)
Purpose of our Strategic Plan:
• Address our identified needs
• Be responsive to our feedback and accountabilities
• Be aspirational and visionary
• Be realistic and manageable
• Unite our staff, board, parents and students with a clear intention of our vision and direction
• Outline our intended development for right now and the years ahead- should be reviewed annually.
The purpose of strategic planning is to set overall goals and to develop strategies to achieve them. Strategic planning is an essential part of
school planning and is a requirement of all schools. The Bishops’ Mandate letter states that schools need to meet the requirements and
standards set by external authorities (Reference: Mandate 1.12 p 51). The Strategic Plan is a whole school improvement plan which outlines the
future direction of the school and should be endorsed by the School Board. (Reference: DES Registration Standards and Requirements 2014 1.7)
The school Strategic Plan provides a framework for decision making and whole school improvement. It sets broad benchmarks for the School
Board, leadership team and staff to work towards. The Strategic Plan and subsequent Annual School Improvement Plan provide the school with
the ability to gather data, monitor progress and assess the areas that require further attention. A school needs to be clear in advance about how
it will proceed and everyone involved should know what is expected of them, within an appropriate timeframe. The Strategic Plan is the key
planning document for the school and its community. Engaging staff, students, the Board, parents and the community ensures there is a shared
sense of purpose and understanding of the goals that are set.
School History: St Brigid’s Primary School was opened in 1902 by the Presentation Sisters at the request of Bishop Gibney and the fledgling
Catholic Community. From 1902 to 1955 St Brigid’s catered for both boys and girls from Year 1 to Year 12. Prior to the establishment of a senior
school in Collie, the sisters taught students in Years 11 and 12. In addition to the day school, a night school was established for adults of any age
who wished to be trained for various trades and professions. In 1955 (after the completion of St Edmund's College), boys completed their early
schooling at St Brigid's (Year 1- Year 3) and were enrolled at St Edmund's College from Year 4 onwards, while the girls remained at St Brigid's
School. In 1994, St Brigid's School amalgamated with St Edmunds College to form Collie Catholic College on two campuses- St. Brigid’s Campus
(catering for primary girls and boys) and St Edmund’s Campus (catering for high school girls and boys). At the end of the 2000 school year, due to
declining enrolments, the school became primary only. In January, 2003 the school was officially renamed St Brigid’s School and was relocated to
its current site in October of the same year.
Current Context: The town of Collie has a long history of coal mining and power generation. In recent years due to many factors, the once
consistent and steady flow of jobs and employment stability has diminished significantly. In 2011, Collie became one of the State Government’s
9 Super Towns. Funded under the “Royalties For Regions Program”, the program aimed to attract and stimulate growth, maximize opportunities
and prepare for the future. Despite this initiative, there has declining enrolments in Collie schools for the past 2-3 years (including St Brigid’s
School) and a greater percentage of our parents are having difficulty finding work or are working in temporary/short term positions.
Mission: Our Mission is to provide the students of Collie and its surrounds with the very best educational program underpinned by a desire for a
relationship with Jesus within our Catholic faith.St Brigid’s Strategic Plan Goals (2017-2019)
