Yesterday we were delighted to celebrate the achievements of our 2024 Semester 2 students at our Middle Years Academic Awards Assembly.
Our musicians' harmonies were beautiful, demonstrating their exceptional vocal techniques. Our Year 7 Scholarship Dancers who performed for the first time at Kildare, with some of our Year 8 Special Entry Dance Program students had the audience transfixed with their gracefulness and precision.
It was a wonderful occasion to acknowledge the dedication and achievements of our students.
Our Year 11 Retreat was a chance to reflect, connect, and practice compassion while contributing to a meaningful cause.
At Kingpin Bowling, students bonded through fun activities, with bowling serving as a metaphor for life’s ups and downs and a reminder to stay resilient. Led by Nikki Carabetta, students learnt about Indigenous communities through a traditional weaving workshop, creating earrings to support the NATSICC SafePlace Program, which provides essential items to Indigenous families.
Congratulations to Morgan (Year 12) on being the recipient of an Outstanding Contribution Award from the Australian Girls Choir!
Morgan's journey started with the Australian Girls Choir when she was just five years old, and since she has been involved in endless experiences including travelling interstate and performing in different languages such as French, Lithuanian, Bulgarian and more. Showcasing her talent, Morgan is also in the highest level of the Australian Girls Choir, the Performing Choir, and 'Belcanto' the Specialist Choir.
Well done Morgan.
Our Senior Years Academic Awards Assembly was a wonderful occasion where our College community celebrated the outstanding achievements of our current students and our Class of 2024. We congratulate everyone for their dedication, excellence and commitment to aspiring to achieve their personal best.

We are very proud to congratulate Abby (Class of 2024) on being awarded the University of Adelaide Principals’ Scholarship!

Abby will soon begin studying a Bachelor of Psychology (Advanced) Honours at the University of Adelaide. We wish her every success for this exciting next chapter.
Today we welcomed our new students for their first official day at Kildare College! With the sun shining and a buzz of excitement, it was a wonderful day for our new students to make connections, receive their timetable and explore the College.
Our 2025 Student Leadership Team is stepping into their roles with energy and enthusiasm, ready to lead us through an inspiring year ahead.
Late last year, our College Captains, Amelia and Jasmine, embarked on an incredible two-day journey to Saltbush, Balnarring Beach. Joining students from 10 Kildare Ministries schools across Australia, they immersed themselves in meaningful activities, formed lasting connections, and embraced the beauty of nature.
Our entire Student Leadership Team took part in the Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) Student Leadership Day for Youth and Young Adults. This experience allowed them to explore the values of leadership, exchange ideas, and connect with other young leaders from Catholic schools across the state.
We are so proud of the way these students are embracing their responsibilities and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in 2025!
With over two decades of dedicated service to Catholic Education South Australia, and a total of 29 years in Catholic Education, Cherrell Murray has been a pillar of wisdom, guidance and genuine care for our community.
Over her time at Kildare, Cherrell has been integral to Learning Enrichment providing extensive support to our entire College community. She has been an inspiring mentor to our students and staff, always fostering a welcoming environment of growth.
As Cherrell prepares for retirement, we farewell, congratulate and thank her for her incredible commitment to education and Kildare College.
