The S.P.H.E. programme for Junior cycle was introduced into St. Brigid's College in September 2002. This is a personal development course, which plays an integral part in the holistic development of you child. The aim of this programme is to promote in students a positive self-image, a high degree of self worth and a sense of security. Each student has one period of SPHE per week. It has proved to be a very popular class as it provides students with an opportunity to discuss, in an informal environment, issues which are relevant to them.
