In 2025, Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) celebrates 180 years of Catholic education in South Australia, and today marks the beginning of Catholic Education Week; an opportunity to celebrate quality teaching and learning. We reflect on how our community 'shines' through the power of kindness, care for each other, and the endless opportunities at the College igniting the potential of our students.
Happy Mother's Day! It was a beautiful Friday afternoon at Kildare College as we welcomed over 400 special guests for our Mother's Day celebration including mothers, grandmothers, special female figures and students. It was a joyful celebration and beautiful reminder of the special women in our lives.
There was a true sense of excitement as our Class of 2025 received their Year 12 Ties - a meaningful symbol of unity and the journey ahead in their final year of school.
Paired proudly with their Senior Jackets, this special occasion was more than just about uniform. It was a shared moment of connection, laughter, and teamwork, complete with "how to tie a tie" tutorials as students helped one another.
