// Junior School Highlights
Chidley 15th Birthday: In March, St Hilda’s celebrated a wonderful milestone within our larger milestone of 125 years; our beautiful Chidley Junior School campus turned 15. The event saw key people who were involved with the project and a group of Year 12 students who were our first Junior Kindergarten students with us in 2006 come together to celebrate.

Junior School Nature Based Open Day On March 28, St Hilda’s held its inaugural Nature Based Open Day which focused on how we extend our students’ learning beyond traditional methods of learning. We were fortunate to have Griffin Longley, Nature Play CEO, speak and share insights on how unstructured play outdoors helps build the courage, creativity and social and emotional intelligence that are fundamental to children’s health, happiness and fulfilment in life. We were also pleased to have a variety of outdoor activities that were nature focused, giving insight into how learning can occur in all types of environments.
35 ST HILDA’S REPORT 2021
Girls Lifting Girls was introduced in 2021 and is a series of parent daughter sessions where students hear from incredible female guest speakers. The speakers covered some of their toughest moments and the importance of grit, humility and teamwork. Aimed to inspire our students to grow into the strong women that they are becoming, it’s been a highly successful and popular event with our older Junior School students.
