Welcome to 2025 and the Year of Hospitality – Welcoming all. We especially welcome our new families across Years 7 – 11 who are joining the College for the first time this year.
Each year, we take the opportunity to focus on one of our six Core Values, and in 2025, we will embrace the Core Value of Hospitality. This value reflects the heart of who we are as a community—a place where openness, warmth, and respect are lived daily and where every person is treated with love, support, and care.
Hospitality for us is more than a gesture; it is a way of being. It is about giving generously, celebrating our culture, and creating an environment where every individual feels they belong. Through this Core Value, we encourage our students to dream big, act with intention, and step into the future with optimism and confidence. Hospitality reminds us to welcome not just others but also opportunities for growth, connection, and hope.

As we continue to grow, our focus remains on fostering a vibrant, connected, and caring community – a foundation where our students can thrive as independent, resilient, and empowered young people.
2024 Year 12 Results – 100% SACE Completion
At the end of last year, we celebrated the amazing results of our Class of 2024 with 100% SACE completion and 91.6% of the grades in the A and B grade bands (well above the State average of 76%). We congratulate each student on their achievement and look forward to remaining in contact with them as Old Scholars.

We are excited to share that the plans for the Lightbridge Centre are advancing beautifully, bringing us closer to realising this remarkable vision. This inspiring facility promises to be spectacular and designed to ignite creativity, collaboration, and innovation. As we progress, we look forward to sharing more details and unveiling the incredible possibilities this space will offer. We will keep you updated in the months ahead.
Hospitality – Welcoming all
As we step into the 2025 academic year, our hearts are filled with hope and gratitude. At Kildare, we are not just educating girls – we are shaping the leaders, thinkers, and changemakers of tomorrow. What an extraordinary privilege it is to be part of this transformative journey.
I look forward to reconnecting with you when I get back from leave.
Best wishes always,
Tina
