Official Yeagarup Opening

FROM THE FOUNDATION

The Foundation’s commitment and connection to the St Hilda’s community continues in 2022 through the strategic partnership between the Foundation and the School. This includes the Foundation supporting leadership roles on staff to build the culture of philanthropy to increase community support to the School’s scholarship and capital works programs.

The highlight so far this year was to see the opening of the School’s third campus, Yeagarup in Pemberton. The Foundation was delighted to see the results of the funding provided for the building works and we look forward to welcoming students on camps, tours, and retreats in second semester.

Two exciting capital projects that have been in the planning are starting to come to fruition. Both the ESSTEAM Studio and The Heritage Centre will commence construction in the second half of the year. We are working with the School to financially support these two projects and we expect to announce our commitment to these projects shortly.

In addition, the Foundation has been actively working with the School to support the annual giving campaign which is raising funds for needs-based scholarships. Scholarships not only add diversity and opportunity to our school environment, they are also a way of giving back to those who may not be able to afford the incredible education our girls receive. Thank you to all those donors who contributed to this important campaign.

I am deeply grateful for the dedication and commitment from the members of the Foundation, and look forward to welcoming new members.
