Courage: Speaking and Acting with Integrity

Each day that I am privileged to be a part of Kilbreda College reminds me of the responsibility that we have as a Catholic community to ensure that we are providing opportunities for students to grow in understanding and develop empathy and compassion for others in their world. Understanding the needs of others and demonstrating compassion requires us to be courageous and bold. Our College motto of ‘Strength and Kindliness’ encompasses what it means to be the hands, feet, heart and voice of Jesus and today’s world. I would encourage you to join us at the Palm Sunday Rally to use your voice to speak up for others.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another.”
(Ephesians 4:32a)

NAPLAN

NAPLAN tests have now concluded for all Year 7 and Year 9 students. Reports will be made available to parents later in the year. It is important to remember that whilst NAPLAN results can give an indication of how a child is progressing in different areas of the curriculum, it does not give a complete picture or represent the worth of any one individual.
