Word’s Greatest Shave

In Term 2 Week 10, 52 of Year 12 students took part in the annual World’s Greatest Shave event. The girls worked extremely hard at their fundraising and by the end of Term 2, had raised over $59,000. This is an unbelievable achievement, and a testament to the generosity within the St Hilda’s Community.

Rottnest Environmental Care

A group of 15 enthusiastic staff and students banded together to support the Rottnest Society and assist in planting over 1000 seedlings. The wet and windy weather did not dampen their spirits. It is a privilege to be able to give back to our favourite holiday island.

Bindaring Clothing Sale

Thank you to our families for donating clothing to the annual Red Cross Bindaring Clothing Sale. Our girls are always keen supporters, volunteering to assist in the smooth running of the day. ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN 2022

As part of our St Hilda’s Reimagined Strategic Plan, one of our commitments is to build a diverse community of learners who have a genuine desire and appreciation for education.

Why is supporting needs-based, boarding, and Indigenous students through scholarships so important? An Australian research study prepared by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) for the Mitchell Institute of Victoria University ‘Educational Opportunity 2020’ has found there are signifi cant gaps for Indigenous children, children from low socioeconomic backgrounds and children living in remote areas; these children are at least twice as likely as their peers to have a developmental vulnerability.

At St Hilda’s, we believe we have an obligation to play our part in closing the education opportunity gap for girls. By supporting a girl in need, you are helping to make generational change. We need to help to spark extraordinary futures through Scholarships because many girls and young women do not have the means to be able to attend St Hilda’s. Leading the way in girls’ education, St Hilda’s is committed to providing young women, from all backgrounds, with the opportunity to shine.

We were delighted to welcome back past boarding scholarship recipient Ammbi Muir (2017) to share her experience studying at St Hilda’s and her journey since graduating.

Thank you to all our generous donors this year that came together to contribute to raise funds towards the needs-based, boarding, and Indigenous scholarships St Hilda’s off ers each year.
