DOBCEL Policies

St Brigid’s College operates within the Diocese of Ballarat, and is governed by the Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited (DOBCEL), which oversees a total of 58 schools providing distinctive Catholic education from the Murray to the Sea. This support is operationalised by Catholic Education Ballarat and is responsible for the implementation of DOBCEL strategies, policies and procedures, and overseeing the day to day running of our schools. The role of DOBCEL is to lead, provide service to, and partner with schools to enable every student to flourish and every student, staff member and family to experience the presence of the risen Christ in our schools.
