Overview

St Hilda’s is fortunate to have the support of a vibrant community which freely gives its time and expertise to help the School.  For Old Scholars and past and current parents, being a member of one or more of the support groups provides an opportunity to meet new people, establish friendships and be part of life at the School.

The GHS and St Hilda's Old Scholars Association (OSA) has over 6000 old scholars registered on the data base which grows each year as the Year 12 leavers are welcomed into the Association. Through the Association, past students can keep in touch with each other and with the School.

Membership of the Parents’ and Friends’ Association (P&F) comprises all parents of St Hilda’s students.   A committee is elected at the end of every year to represent the School community.  The aim of the Association is to involve parents in social functions for friendship, fun and fundraising. Events include the Sundowner, Quiz Night and the highly anticipated Art Exhibition.

The St Hilda’s Auxiliary, a large sub-group of the P&F, coordinates smaller support groups of parents who help in the Library, Music, Drama and Sport, and is a focal point for class parents.   The Auxiliary has a very busy agenda of functions including an annual Fashion Parade.
For parents whose daughters have graduated from St Hilda’s, and who are not old scholars themselves, the Whitby Parents’ Association is a wonderful forum for retaining and renewing friendships made during their tenure as school parents. This group also plays an active role in helping the School.

Events, meetings and functions of all the support groups are regularly posted in the News and Events section of this website and school newsletters.
