The spirit of Harmony Week was alive at Kildare with a week full of activities, from an inspiring assembly to engaging collaborative activities. The celebration culminated in a 'High Tea Around the World,' featuring an array of delicious treats made by our Living Justice | Living Peace Group and Chai and Chat Group, offering a global taste experience that brought the community together in a vibrant display of cultural harmony.
A splash of green filled Kildare College today as staff and students celebrated St Patrick's Day!
St Patrick and St Brigid are patron saints of Ireland and are well known for their roles in converting people to Christianity during their time.
Happy St Patrick's Day.
With a mix of excitement and nervous energy, our Year 7 students embarked on their first Kildare College camp!
The theme, Cultivating Connections, came to life as they embraced each challenge, participated in activities, and supported one another along the way.
The Year 7 Camp was a fantastic opportunity for students to build connections with one another and with our Year 11 Peer Support Leaders, who provided exceptional encouragement and support throughout the experience.
The International Women's Day (IWD) theme, Accelerate Action, holds particular significance for girls' schools. It serves as a reminder to reflect on the importance of empowering young women and encouraging them to realise their full potential.
Our students attended the Tea Tree Gully IWD Event with Guest Speaker Fiona McIntosh, Australian Author, who shared her story and messages of inspiration. Also venturing to the Adelaide Secondary Youth Leadership Conference, students were immersed in self-discovery, empowerment, and leadership development. Today, students collaborated with each other creating an affirmation message board.
At Kildare College, we are proud to inspire the next generation of leaders, thinkers, creators, and changemakers.
Celebrating the beginning of Lent, our College community enjoyed delicious pancakes yesterday for Shrove Tuesday with all funds raised to be donated to Caritas for Project Compassion. Today, our students engaged in an Ash Wednesday Liturgy acknowledging the beginning of the season of reflection and prayer
Open Doors. Open Minds. Open Hearts. The theme of our Opening College Mass was a beautiful way to celebrate and reflect on our Core Value of Hospitality.
After the Mass, we acknowledged the leadership and dedication of our 2025 Student Leaders and Peer Support Leaders. We also celebrated our Year 7 students who were presented with a gift, while our Year 12 students received their Senior Badge, a symbol they will wear with pride throughout their final year of school.
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.
