A combined sporting activity was held, including all members of Rice House and Nagle House. Both houses participated in a round-robin game of touch football. The winning team was team yellow.

Bishop Mark Edwards came to join the boarders for dinner. What a lovely surprise.

Rice House Meetings

Senior boarders Ted and Eli are currently studying towards their Certificate 2 in Agriculture at TAFE.

Many of our boarders have been making use of the laundry room.  The art of washing, ironing, and maintaining clothing is an excellent life skill to develop, especially when living away from home.  We are pleased to see so many of the boys making good use of the facilities. 

Coming soon - Rice House will have a small laundry of its own, located in the Boys.' Courtyard. The space is being prepared to house a washing machine, a dryer, a sink, and an ironing board. The laundry will enable the boys to wash clothing and sheets at times after dinner, taking pressure off the main laundry located in the Girls' Courtyard. 

Cooper Year 8

Year 12 can be very busy and demanding. A balance of life is very important - sleep/ nutrition and relaxation in between bouts of academic work is so important.

Junior boarders Charlie and Sam went to the McPherson oval to try out for the Northern Riverina team. Congratulations to Sam, who went on to make the team. Charlie is to be commended for his strong effort, coming close to being selected, but he will have to try his chances again next year. Kildare was successful in defeating Mater Dei by 100 points in the selection game.

Year 12

Senior Boarders Harrison and Samuel recently went on a science and engineering day with Mater Dei, they greatly enjoyed the event and liked the challenge it posed.

Hardy Shield 

Senior Boarders Ollie, Jeremy, Archie, Kai, Jack, and Dusty are valuable players of the Kildare team.

Kildare secured the victory in the recent Hardy Shield final. Ollie was the Captain, scoring the winning field goal in a golden point extra time. Kai was awarded man of the match. Jeremy scored 2 tries. This is the 4th victory in a row for Kildare.

Rice House wishes everybody a safe, happy, and holy Easter and Easter break.

Thank you to Naomi, Jody, Jayden, and Jobe for the help and assistance during the term.

We look forward to seeing Wayne Galvin on his return from leave in Term 2.
