St Brigid's School

ST Brigid's School was delighted to welcome Sister Patricia Mulhall, of the Brigidine Order of Nuns, to the school.

Sister Patricia went to the school to hold an assembly to discuss the history of the order, as well as the work they do around the world.

She works actively to campaign against and help those forced into human trafficking and slavery, and she was able to explain the work that the Brigidine nuns do all around the world to help the lives of those affcted by this and other crimes against humanity.

Pupils from reception to Year 7 are researching the history of the school as part of their project work to prepare for the new Welsh curriculum.

'Does our past shape our future' is being investigated and Sister Patricia was able to give first hand historical information about both the order and the school.

Sister Patricia presented the school with a cheque from the Brigidines to allow them to continue the excellent work of educating pupils in the Catholic faith, which is a key part of the school's ethos.

St Brigid's school was founded by the Brigidine nuns in 1939 in Park Street, in Denbigh, and then moved to the current location on Mold Road.

The nuns from the Brigidine Order ceased to run the school in 1990 and it has been a voluntary aided state school since 1996, although the Brigidine Order retained its links through Sister Liz Kelly.
