CELEBRATING OUR STAFF

CELEBRATING OUR STAFF

St Hilda’s is blessed with loyal, hard working and friendly staff who strive to bring out the best in the students and spark extraordinary futures for all the girls.

This statement could not ring truer than for our Head of Library & Information Services and Head of De Grey House, Sandra Naude. This year, Sandra is celebrating her 40th year at St Hilda’s, a humongous feat.

In August, the Senior School held a surprise celebration in recognition of this milestone. The event captured the amazing contribution Sandra has had as the longest serving staff member at St Hilda’s.

Former House Captains shared messages of congratulations, and we had special guests attend (including Sandra’s two children flying from interstate). Staff got into the spirit by secretly wearing a “spot” of yellow in their outfit in support of Sandra’s leadership in De Grey House.

When asked about why Sandra continues to remain at St Hilda’s, this was her response:

“Why am I still at St Hilda’s? It is and has always been a beautiful, exciting, dynamic place to work. The staff are highly skilled; the girls are an absolute delight, and their academic, sporting, cultural and cocurricular results are outstanding. St

Hilda’s has grown from 600 students

K-12 in 1982 on one campus, with many demountable classrooms and only one very expensive, 40 MB hard drive computer, to three campuses with outstanding facilities and 1200 students with their own devices.”
