Recently, our Student Leaders attended and actively participated in multiple leadership workshops across Adelaide; the GRIP Leadership Conference and National Young Leaders Day.
The overall theme of the 2 days highlighted messages on leadership; asking students to be brave, to practice and encourage resilience and to use compassion and empathy when leading others.
Our students also enjoyed meeting with The Honourable Peter Malinauskas MP, Premier of South Australia. Year 10 Student Leaders Mia and Hridini thanked The Premier for his inspiring speech to 400 students from across Adelaide.
At Kildare, our strong focus on student wellbeing covers all aspects of College life, including a supportive, welcoming and nurturing environment for all students.
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is taken by 690,000 Year 10 students across 81 countries. Our results show that 90% of Kildare's students feel a great sense of belonging, compared to the average of 55% across the rest of the world.
Our College community gathered yesterday to celebrate the incredible achievements of our current students and our Class of 2023. We congratulate everyone for their dedication, and commitment to aspiring to achieve their personal best.
Today, the smell of pancakes filled the air as students and staff gathered to enjoy pancakes to mark Shrove Tuesday. All funds raised will be donated to Caritas for Project Compassion.
What a way to start the year! Our Years 11 and 12 students danced the night away at the annual Senior Formal; an evening of sparkle, connections and memories to cherish.

Today we welcomed our new students for their first official day of secondary education with us. Natural nerves were settled when the students arrived to a warm welcome, which provided a smooth transition to life at Kildare.
'Fashioning' her future!
Lila, an exceptionally talented designer, seamstress and 2021 graduate of Kildare College, is paving her way in the world of fashion design. Her recent triumph; being awarded the winner of ‘RSVP Ready’, a fashion event at Burnside Village. This event is an amazing opportunity for emerging South Australian fashion designers to showcase their wonderful creations and dive into the fashion industry.
We congratulate Lila and wish her the best with her flourishing career in fashion design.
Our Years 9 and 10 students connected with each other and reflected on bowling as a metaphor for life.
Sometimes we get a strike (success) and sometimes a spare (near miss), depending on our choice of ball and position, but it is how we respond to life's events that shapes us into the people we are.
Our students supported and encouraged each other through an afternoon of fun and engagement.
Kildare College is dedicated to fostering a greener future.
In an initiative where sustainability meets celebration, the College has proudly launched the inaugural gifting of a hessian Kildare Bag to our Year 7 families commemorating their first year at Kildare College.
This special product is a movement towards a planet-friendly future and highlights the extraordinary impact a community can achieve when united in purpose, one eco-friendly step at a time.
