Bandanna Day

Bandanna Day is a vibrant event celebrated at our school canteen to raise awareness and funds for youth cancer support. Students and staff don colourful bandannas, creating a sea of colours while showing solidarity for those affected by cancer. Our Health and Wellbeing Leaders for 2025 are leading the activity and selling bandannas.  We thank the Leaders for their efforts and those who purchased the headwear and supported the worthy cause.

Upcoming Events

Year 9, 10 and 11 Examinations

Students in Years 9, 10 and 11 will soon be preparing for the commencement of their end of semester examinations. These examinations will enable students to demonstrate their learning over the course of the semester, refine their revision techniques and practise their examination writing skills. We wish all students the very best for their upcoming examinations.

Transition 2025: Becoming a Kilbreda Girl

Navigating the path from primary school to secondary school is a crucial journey in the life of a young person. As stewards of your daughters’ education, we understand that a smooth transition fosters not only academic success but also contributes to the development of resilient, confident and well-rounded individuals. Our commitment to providing a robust and supportive transition program stems from the belief that these experiences lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. By fostering a supportive environment during this period, we aim to empower our students to embrace challenges, forge new friendships, and deepen their sense of connection to Kilbreda College.

We very much look forward to welcoming our incoming Year 7 students and their families to our ‘Becoming a Kilbreda Girl’ transition evening on Monday 18 November commencing at 7.00pm in the Kildare Centre.  During this evening, we will explore life as a Year 7 student at Kilbreda College, including the co-curricular opportunities that are available to all.
