FROM THE PRINCIPAL What a joy it has been to lead St Hilda’s throughout the past four years! It has been a privilege and an honour to see over 500 young women graduate from our wonderful school during this time. It has also been a pleasure to connect with many Old Scholars at local, national and international reunions. I have really enjoyed getting to know past students, whether it be through occasions like the annual 70+ morning tea in the School Hall or at one of the reunions hosted in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Albany, Esperance, Geraldton, Margaret River, Hong Kong, Singapore and Jakarta. St Hilda’s girls are interesting people who collectively make a diverse contribution to society and I am always fascinated to learn about their post school journey at alumni events. It is also important to acknowledge the St Hilda’s staff for their commitment to achieve the Vision that we determined in 2015. Our Vision of preparing girls for the future by developing tenacity, confidence and compassion has been enacted in practice, as measured by our key clients – our students. On reflection, based on the measures of student and parent feedback, academic results, our extensive and varied cocurricular programs, in conjunction with the achievements of our Old Scholars, St Hilda’s is working successfully in achieving its purpose to provide a vibrant school community that educates and inspires girls for life. Recent forays into crafting the School’s Master Plan through consultation with architects, the Building and Grounds Committee and other key stakeholders means that planned development over the next 25 years will revitalise and upgrade
