2021 House Leaders
Over the next few newsletters we will introduce you to the House Leaders for this year.
Jacqui Isles
Kildare House Leader
I am so proud to be a Kildare House Leader this year! I play in numerous netball teams outside of school aspiring to be a professional player and playing since I was 8! I've participated in many school sports teams over the years such as athletics, swimming, badminton, softball, netball, and have enjoyed every moment of it, aiming to achieve the same consensus for my House members this year and bring victory to the House Carnivals.
Grace Turner
Brigid House Leader
I am so excited to have the opportunity to be one of the Brigid House Leaders this year! I play netball and football outside of school, and have loved participating in many of the school sport teams over the years, such as netball, football, volleyball and soccer, along with running events like the Netball Tournament and the SCSA Softball. I can’t wait to participate in the upcoming events this year, like the House Swimming and the House Athletics carnivals!
Caley Ryan

It is a privilege to be announced as a Brigid House Leader this year and be given the opportunity to work with my peers to engage and encourage the College community in House activities. Throughout my schooling at Kilbreda I have participated in many school sports like football, tennis, soccer and netball and have loved trying new things and meeting new people along the way. This year is going to be great and there are exciting things coming. I can't wait!

This year I have been very lucky to be chosen as one of the Kildare House Leaders! Throughout my time at the College I have been heavily involved in many different sporting teams such as triathlon, swimming, cross country, athletics, netball and in the (former) SCSG, SCSA and VNA teams, as well as badminton. I am very excited for the year ahead and to hopefully lead Kildare to a very well-deserved win!

I'm super excited to be one half of the Tullow House Leaders this year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how creative our Tullow girls can be when participating in sports and cocurricular activities!

I have enjoyed taking up the opportunity to try new sports and join in all the fun. Can't wait for the year ahead and I hope to bring Delany to victory!!
AFL Umpiring Course
The following students have been participating in the AFL Umpiring Course over the last two weeks: Sian Francis, Jacinta Crowley, Shelby Christopher, Elizabeth Pound, Elke Madlener, Ewa Slifierz and Helena Slifierz.
In the first week they looked at all of the skills relating to Boundary Umpiring with numerous 'throw ins' from the boundary line and whistle blowing to indicate “out of bounds'' and “on the full”.
This week the group covered Field Umpiring decisions: holding the person, kicking in danger, tripping, dropping the ball, throwing the ball and how to do the centre bounce.
The girls are becoming more confident at blowing their whistles!
