Vision

We see the community of staff and students of St. Brendan's College striving to attain the highest possible standards in education, social integration, extra curricular activities and sport. We will do so in the working context of a gathering of like minded individuals who deeply respect each other and each others needs, likes, dislikes and preferences. St. Brendan's College will be a school where each student and staff member will have the right to be: with no fear of bullying, discrimination, intimidation or invasion of personal privacy. The staff and students of St. Brendan's College will inhabit a HAPPY school.
