On Sunday May 29, past students and staff joined the current Kildare College community to celebrate a wonderful 50 years of learning at Kildare.
Since the establishment of the College in February 1966, a single class of 32 students has grown to a student community of almost 500. A single building has developed into a range of state of the art facilities including performing arts, hospitality and innovative science and maths learning spaces.
Past Principal and Trustee of Kildare Ministries, Kathy McEvoy, spoke fondly about Kildare’s past and enthusiastically about the future. She included a reflection on the College’s opening from Kildare’s foundation teacher, Sr Moira Broderick csb. The College archives were opened for the day allowing guests to see Kildare’s journey first hand. Tours of the current College facilities were also offered to rekindle school memories and showcase the opportunities provided to Kildare students in 2016.
Intergenerational playgroups are truly something special — an experience that enriches the lives of both the young and the older members of our community. These playgroups are more than just a space for children to play; they are a vital platform for different generations to come together, share wisdom, and build meaningful relationships.
