Behaviour Management Policy
St Brigid’s School recognises the uniqueness of each individual, created in the image and likeness of God. Our vision statement challenges us to create a learning community based on values. This is our core belief and permeates all aspects of our curriculum. We recognise the importance of developing and nourishing the whole child, and indeed, each member of our school community. St Brigid’s strives to promote respect for the rights of every person – in a safe, nurturing and respectful environment. We believe each student should be encouraged to develop habits of self-discipline and respect – for self and others. Students are expected to show respect to all staff members and visitors to the school.
When parents accept a position for their child they agree to the discipline policy of the school

Digital Acceptable Use Policy for Students
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been introduced into schools predominantly through email and the Internet. The availability of such resources provides the opportunity for schools to help students develop their full potential. ICT provides significant educational value but can pose a risk of exposure to inappropriate and offensive material and personal safety.

Fee Setting & Collection Policy
The Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia (CECWA) has a responsibility to make a Catholic education available to all Catholic students whose parents seek a Catholic education for them, insofar as this is possible, while embodying the Church’s preferential option for the poor and disadvantaged (Mandate page 50).¹ Schools have a responsibility to communicate the financial constraints under which they operate to parents enrolling their children in Catholic schools. Parents are required to make a commitment to support Catholic education financially by paying fees.

Homework Policy
St Brigid’s School values the role homework has in a child’s education. Homework helps students; complementing and reinforcing classroom learning, fostering good lifelong learning and study habits, and provides an opportunity for students to be responsible for their own learning.
Privacy Policy
St Brigid’s Primary School is a reflection of the Church’s commitment to the dignity of the individual (Mandate para 6). It is important for schools to demonstrate this commitment in the manner in which they protect information that they hold about their school community.
School Excursion Policy
To contribute to students’ Christian development, the starting point for all curriculum decisions will be the students themselves and their individual needs. Education that seeks to promote integrated personal development relates curriculum content to students’ real life situations (Mandate, para 66). School excursions are opportunities for students to experience learning outside of their normal school environment.
