Kildare Catholic College is a Roman Catholic Coeducational Secondary College in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. Kildare Catholic College works with heritage links to Nano Nagle, the foundress of the Presentation Sisters and Edmund Rice, the founder of the Christian Brothers. Kildare has six houses, all of which are named after people of peace. Each house has its own colour. The six houses are as follows: Romero (Orange), King (Red), Theresa (Sky Blue), Gandhi (Navy Blue), Oodgeroo (Green) and Benedicta (Gold). The school was established in 2004 as an amalgamation of three local schools:
- St Michaels High School
- Mount Erin High School
- Trinity Senior High School
Kildare Catholic College's sporting success in 2007 has been the best in the history of the school taking out the Byrnes Shield (Cricket), Hardy Shield (Rugby League), Carroll Cup (Australian Rules) and The Nic Henderson Shield (Rugby Union).
Since its founding in 2004 Kildare has performed five musicals of a high standard. Its first musical was "Back to the 80's" in 2005 followed by "Godspell" in 2007, "Bye Bye Birdie" in 2009, "All Shook Up" in 2011 and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in 2013, with an upcoming performance of "High School Musical" in 2015
