Past Pupils of Distinction
In 2016, the Kilbreda College Past Pupils’ Network Committee, with the support of the Co-Principals at the time and the College Stewardship Council, introduced a program to recognise Kilbreda women who were making a difference.
The ‘Past Pupils of Distinction’ program recognises, acknowledges and celebrates the outstanding contributions that past pupils have made in the community and ultimately to the lives of others. The program also provides a platform where stories can be shared and current and future students can be inspired by those women who have truly lived the College values of Strength and Kindliness.
The program runs biannually and past pupils are nominated by their peers. A number of inductees are chosen by a selection committee comprised of the College Stewardship Council and chosen in accordance with a set criteria.
