Leading up to the holiday season, our Living Justice | Living Peace group held a Christmas Appeal in support of Vinnies and the Australian Refugee Association.
Nurturing our Core Values of Compassion, Hospitality and Justice, students and staff donated gifts and cooked delicious food to feed those in need.
A very special thank you to everyone involved in making a difference for so many people.

Our Middle Years students kicked off the final week of school with a day full of adventure at AFL Max, Waterworld, and Woodhouse Adventure Park. It was a fantastic way to celebrate all their hard work and make lasting memories together.
Our STEM MAD students continue to flourish.
After winning the 2024 STEM MAD State Showcase, Year 8 students Amelie, Navya and Rui travelled to Brisbane to compete in the National Showcase, hosted by Brisbane Catholic Education to present their Micro-Filter Force. Year 9 students Bianca, Prabhjit, Sophie, Radhika, Seher and Vama presented their innovative creations online.
Congratulations to all our STEM MAD students on their achievements and well done to Bianca, Prabhjit and Sophie (2023 State Winners) for winning the 2024 National People's Choice Award!
The Christmas spirit was in full swing at Kildare with our annual Christmas Doors Competition – a much-loved tradition to conclude the year.
Our Middle Years students collaborated in their Pastoral Care classes to design some truly spectacular doors, judged on originality, creativity, innovation, and clever use of recycled materials. The results were outstanding.
Congratulations to the Kildare House and Pastoral Care class CE for winning the 2024 competition!
For the past nine years, Jo Coonan has been a dedicated member of the Kildare College Stewardship Council, including six years as the Chair, providing invaluable guidance and support. Her inspiring leadership and commitment to Catholic Education have profoundly shaped our College’s direction.
Jo’s wisdom and encouragement have strengthened our community, helping us to navigate challenges and celebrate successes, and her visionary approach and dedication to Kildare Ministries' Core Values have left an enduring legacy. As Jo steps down, we thank her for her exceptional contributions. Her impact will continue to inspire and guide Kildare College for generations to come.
We thank Jo for everything she has done for Kildare College.
We are delighted to share the incredible Year 12 SACE Results and congratulate the Class of 2024 on their outstanding achievements.
SAVE THE DATE
We are excited to invite our entire Kildare College community to a very special celebration:
Farewell to the Hall Party
Saturday 28 June 2025 | 6.30pm - 11.00pm
The Hall began the story of Kildare in 1966 and is a beloved part of our College's history, which has witnessed countless memories, milestones and achievements. In one way or another, the Hall has been part of everyone's Kildare journey, and we invite our community to join us for this event to honour its legacy and stand in the Hall one last time.
As we prepare to say farewell to the Hall, we do so with excitement for the future, knowing that the Lightbridge Centre (New Performing Arts and Wellbeing Centre), set to open in 2026, is the culmination of years of growth, dedication, and vision.
Join us for an exciting evening of nostalgia, reflection, and reconnection as we celebrate the memories we have shared and look ahead to the bright future that awaits us.
We encourage our community to Save the Date and share this with anyone who is or has been part of the Kildare community (Old Scholars, past staff, present families and staff), with more information to be released beginning of 2025.
If you have any questions, please email Grace on gwallace@kildare.catholic.edu.au
We look forward to celebrating this historic occasion with all of you.
Mia Ferraretto, Kildare College 2023 Old Scholar, has been changed ‘For Good’ after experiencing the transformative Kristin Chenoweth’s Broadway Bootcamp (KCBBC) in Oklahoma, an elite growth experience for young performers. After participating in the bootcamp for a second time after successful auditions, Mia also received the 110% Kristi Award in recognition for her dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to the Performing Arts. This year, the Bootcamp featured a total of 65 students from 21 states and six countries.
Cultural Celebration Day was radiant with joy, compassion and Hope, our 2024 Core Value.
With a colourful Parade entrance, the College enjoyed an assembly filled with cultural stories, perspectives, and languages before experiencing the Festa with delicious treats. Latin and Greek Dancing, Italian Card Games, Ancient Rune charms, Henna, and drumming by special guest Bortier Okoe, musical talent from West Africa, were also part of the festivities.
