Where it sits among Adelaide schools
Our story
The St Brigid's site at Kilburn opened in 1929 as St Joseph's School, run by the Dominican Sisters from North Adelaide. The Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart took over in 1947, and the school took the St Brigid's name the following year.
It is a Reception to Year 6 school in the Clearview Kilburn Parish, and the OLSH sisters' values still shape its religious and educational vision. Children who start Reception mid-year pay no tuition for Terms 3 and 4.
