At the Kildare Campus we come together as an educational community focussed on the young people in our care. As the senior campus of Lavalla Catholic College, we build upon the learning that has taken place at the Presentation and St Paul's Campuses. Through determination, drive, hard work and strong leadership the Kildare Campus aims to bring out the best qualities in young people, and to transform their lives for the common good. We want our students to become 'good Christians and positive citizens'.

As educators, we at Lavalla Catholic College make the choice to be with young people and by our witness we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to their positive development. We acknowledge that this happens in partnership with parents. Together, we need to work and look at our wonderful world through the expectant eyes of the young.

We have been more than pleased with the outcomes of our Yr 12's over the last few years. Last year saw our VCAL students win state awards, our VCE Scores improve overall, students gaining apprenticeships and generally students are happy to be at school. We work with all students from all backgrounds and are proud of our efforts.

While all teachers contribute to individual success, the Kildare Campus Leadership Team provides support, provides care, and also provides correction. As a team, our distinctive Marist style expresses itself in its simplicity, in its straightforward manner and in its genuine interest in young people.

May we encourage each other as we confront the challenges before us! Rest assured that we will make contact with you as the need arises during the year. Please, do the same.

Mr Marco DiCesare

Kildare Campus Director
