ST HILDA’S WEEK

125 Assembly
The Junior School and Senior School 125 Assemblies paid tribute to our rich and incredible history of sparking extraordinary futures for girls. The Senior School assembly included a variety of musical performances, Old Scholar tributes, St Hilda’s stories, history video, blessing and cutting of the anniversary cake.
The Junior School assembly was structured similarly, however, a major highlight was a group of students dressing up as the 13 inspirational principals throughout St Hilda’s history. We’d like to pay a special tribute to mini Mrs Johnston who rocked the earrings we all know and love, and the toy Pretzel held in her arms.
Twilight Chapel Service
St Hilda’s Week kicked off with the 125th Anniversary Twilight Chapel Service. It was a beautiful service of thanksgiving that linked back to the 1994 consecration of the Chapel of St Hilda’s with many familiar faces in the congregation. Thank you to ex staff member, The Reverend Pamela Turner, Rector of St Michael’s Church, who led the service. Thank you also to the Chapel Choir, the bell ringers, servers, and other musicians who were populated by ex-members of staff, students and Old Scholars. We look forward to further celebrations throughout the week.
125 Music Concert
The 125 Music Concert was an incredible evening of musical talent, comradery and spirit. Junior and Senior School students shone on stage as they performed a variety of pieces to the crowd and to over 650 viewers at home on the livestream. A highlight from the evening was when some Old Scholars and a few current members of staff joined the students on stage to perform some pieces. Seeing both current and past St Hilda’s students together on stage was an amazing sight, and was another reminder of the incredible community St Hilda’s has created over our 125 years. Thank you to our MC and Old Scholar, Harriet Marshall (1991) for leading the event so wonderfully.
FUN RUN
The St Hilda’s FUN RUN was an exciting and enjoyable way to finish off St Hilda’s Week. We had a fantastic turn out in both the 2.5km and 5km courses, and with everyone finishing at the Great Court with food and drinks, the St Hilda’s spirit was alive!
