Why Kildare College?
Today marks the beginning of Catholic Education Week; an opportunity to celebrate quality teaching and learning across Catholic Education South Australia.
We reflect on the incredible opportunities available to our students; from Woodwork, Science, Dance, Media and Café Culture, to experiences beyond the classroom. There are so many ways for our students to find their place at Kildare.
Would you like to visit the College to explore what sets Kildare apart?
You are warmly invited to join us on a College Tour and be welcomed by our Principal Tina Neate, staff and student leaders.

Happy Mother's Day!
On Friday we welcomed mothers, grandmothers, and female caregivers to our third annual Mother’s Day Breakfast. With an array of delicious food for breakfast, games of pass the parcel and moments of laughter, it was a beautiful morning filled with gratitude for the presence and influence of mothers and female caregivers in our lives.

Today, our Class of 2024 were presented with their Year 12 Ties!
This memorable occasion carries great significance and is a symbolic representation of our students' final year at Kildare. It was a heart-warming sight, as despite having little experience tying ties, everyone supported and helped each other.
Today our Year 7 students were visited by local wildlife demonstrators and environmental educators, Animals Anonymous!
Topics such as biodiversity, adaptations, life cycles, threatened species, and classifications enrich students' learning through engagement with native animals.
Our Sports Day for 2024 was nothing short of incredible!
Brigid, Chanel, Delany, Kildare and Nagle House all displayed friendly rivalry, enthusiasm and team spirit across the day, beginning with House chants followed by individual and novelty events.
We are excited to announce:
The overall Winner of the day is DELANY (fourth year in a row!)
The Spirit Cup Winner is BRIGID (second year in a row!)
Our Year Level Champions are:
Year 7 - Franceska
Year 8 - Gabriella
Year 9 - Aizure
Year 10 - Phoebe (Overall Champion of the day)
Year 11 - Ella
Year 12 - Charli
Congratulations to everyone for what has been a wonderful Sports Day for 2024.
We are so proud to share that Patrick Johnson, English Curriculum Coordinator and Gifted Education Key Teacher at Kildare College, has been awarded the prestigious ‘Rising Star’ title by The Educator; which recognises educators who demonstrate effective leadership, innovation, and achievement.
Patrick's outstanding leadership and innovative teaching and learning initiatives have garnered commendation from the community, with his latest achievement marking the official launch of 'Enlight,' a Gifted Education Framework at Kildare College.
The Enlight Gifted Education Program aims to facilitate an educational environment that caters to the unique potential of highly abled learners. The Framework emphasises four key areas for student provisions and adjustments: Differentiation, Enrichment, Extension, and Acceleration.
‘Researchers estimate that 10% of the student population is gifted’ says Patrick. ‘This program will empower highly abled students to achieve their full potential in their domains of giftedness by tailoring teaching and learning to their specialised needs, talents, and aspirations.’
We congratulate Patrick for his incredible achievements and encourage our community to read more about the Enlight Gifted Education Framework here: https://www.kildare.catholic.edu.au/.../enlight-kildare...

The aroma of sausages, onions and veggie patties filled the air at Kildare today, tempting our students to enjoy a delicious BBQ hosted by our Parents and Friends Committee. What a way to celebrate Term 1!
Thank you to our Parents and Friends Committee for hosting this BBQ and Avanti Pasticceria for their kind donation of continental cakes.
