Always a highlight of the College year; our annual Brigidine Day!
This special day is full of fun and fostering connections with each other. Beginning with Mass and followed by engaging activities and our very own K-Factor, a tradition enjoyed since 2008!
Our community also created lanterns as part of 'Ignite', a Student Leadership Team initiative supporting Wellsprings for Women, and engaged in a presentation by Dr Dalal Smiley, CEO of Wellsprings for Women. The lanterns created formed a beautiful collective artwork and we look forward to sharing the result with you next week!
More photos will be shared in our College Blog, released next week.
Happy Father's Day! On Friday afternoon, our College community celebrated Father's Day with a Barbecue and Activities Afternoon.
It was a wonderful occasion of friendly competition playing Dad vs Daughter games and to enjoy a barbecue together.
We wish everyone a wonderful Father's Day - we hope your Sunday is blessed, however you, and with whomever you spend the day.
Creative Industries Week saw our students engage in hands-on activities!
Students created their own personalised ceramic magnets (Art), a piece of macrame jewellery (Metal Smithing and Jewellery Design), a propagation station (Woodwork), and experimented with Polaroids (Photography). We also did 'Chalk the Walk', decorating the College pathway, and enjoying a Colouring in Competition.
Congratulations to Franceska (Year 7) who had her beautiful artwork featured on the poster promoting the week.
As our Class of 2024 enter their final weeks of Term 3 and lead up to the end of year celebrations, our Year 7 students hand made affirmation cards with words of encouragement for our Year 12 students.
This beautiful gesture, combined with an inter-house, Year 7 and 12 tunnel ball challenge, and a feast of sweets made it a memorable time of connection for all.
'Reading is Magic', the CBCA Book Week theme for 2024, was celebrated today through our annual Book Week Parade!
From mythical creatures to beloved characters, we congratulate everyone who got involved and expressed their creativity.

National Science Week was celebrated last week at Kildare, culminating in our Year 12 students, Shamsieh, Pushti and Maddie participating in the South Australian Chemistry Titration Competition!
At Kildare, students engaged in activities that focused on 'Species Survival' including a scavenger hunt and whale snot analysis. At the titration competition, our students had to titrate potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) against sodium hydroxide to determine the number of moles of KHP in an unknown sample. Shamsieh received a gold award with only 0.2% error. Pushti received silver with an error of 1.2% and Maddie also received silver with an error of 1.5%.To receive a gold award students had to get under 1% error which indicates great accuracy in their technique. Congratulations!
Our talented Bendigo Netball Teams are ready to take on the three-day National All Schools Netball Challenge in Bendigo!
Students are looking forward to putting their skills into action in the high level competition, as well as enjoying travelling interstate together.
An exciting opportunity for our students to showcase their skills, teamwork and commitment and to connect with other schools from across Australia. Good luck!
'Shimmer and Shine', our 2024 Kildare College Social, was a night to remember! Enjoyed by Years 8 and 9 Kildare College, Blackfriars Priory School and Rostrevor College students, the special evening was full of dancing, fun, forming connections and making memories.
More photos will be in our College Blog, released on Friday.
