Every year the Archdiocese of Adelaide acknowledges young people who are nearing completion of their school life with an Award for Excellence. 

The Long Tan Awards, sponsored by the Australian Defence Force were an acknowledgement originally acknowledgement of the brave efforts of those who served in Vietnam; in particular the courage shown during the Batrtle of Long Tan.

In 2017 Kildare College Yera 9 students created the app 'Honouring Australia's War Spirits' in recognition of Australians who served and fought in World War One. Students researched information about the lives of past servicemen and women from around Australia; this was used to write short biographical stories that were then uploaded to the app. We are pleased to announce that the app was awarded 1st prize nationall for the best use of technology in the ANZAC Day Schools Awards.
