Congratulations to Old Scholar, Emily Tsokos Purtill (1997), who has recently published her debut novel, Matia, a story that weaves together four generations of Greek women across three continents. Matia is inspired by Emily’s own heritage and family history and traditions.

Emily graduated from St Hilda’s in 1997, but in Year 10 she won the Tim Winton Award for young writers. She went on to study and practice law but has now returned to writing. Emily will be one of 30 professional old scholars who are returning to School to talk to the Years 10, 11 and 12 about their career pathways at the OSA Career Expo on Friday 20 June.

Thank you to all the OSA Career Mentors who have responded to our call out. As always, our Old Scholars bring a wealth of experience and encompass a huge variety of careers, and we are most grateful to those who have given up an afternoon to speak to the current students on Friday 20 June.

We are still looking for Old Scholars who have careers in software design/IT/coding and hospitality, the arts (visual or performing), or trades. If you feel you could share your career journey with our current students, please sign up below.

On Wednesday 26 March, 64 ladies arrived on a warm Wednesday morning, with tables and velvet cloths under their arms, to play Bridge & Mahjong in the Gallery.  This is one of the most popular events in the annual calendar and is a chance for Old Scholars and their guests to enjoy the verandas and the curated Heritage Centre displays.

Thanks to Treffina Dowland (Lidbury, 1983) for organising the overall event, and our wonderful volunteers for ensuring the day ran smoothly.

Old Scholar Dr Hannah Steel (2014) returned to St Hilda’s on Friday 2 May to talk about her career as a vet at the Chidley Mother’s Day celebrations and as part of the Girls Lifting Girls series of talks.

Hannah was featured in our last edition career profile, sharing insights on her work at a sanctuary in the heart of remote Cameroon, where she cares for 80 chimpanzees who are the victims of either habitat loss or illegal trade in exotic animal smuggling.

When in Cameroon, Hannah lives and works at a clinic where the facilities are basic and off-grid; no wifi or telephones, and Hannah has had to carry out some very complicated operations in isolation with only her assistants to support her using a head torch for light.

The Junior School girls were treated to a wonderful photo story of Hannah’s career pathway and will now have a much more ‘graphic’ understanding of how vets help animals.

Hannah also visited the Senior School science students to give them some insight into the life of a vet both in Australia and in conservation.

We are so grateful to Hannah for visiting St Hilda’s, from Tasmania, and for sharing her passion for veterinary work and stories of her wonderful chimpanzee friends.

On the eve of the 2025 Arts Day (congratulations to Blackwood for their 2025 Arts Festival win) it was appropriate to hear the history of St Hilda’s favourite day of the year.

Many thanks to Sandra Naude, Guardian of St Hilda’s Legacy, and to Pam Casellas (Greenway, 1970), who have together compiled a history of the St Hilda’s Arts Day from its beginnings as Culture Day. Together they presented a photo history to the 35 OSA Year Representatives in the Heritage Centre on Thursday 10 April.

It was wonderful to see so many of our Year Representatives who play such an important role in conveying information to their year groups and organising reunions, and much more.

Sandra and Pam are now working on a new chapter – the history of discipline at St Hilda’s. If you have any stories or photographs, Sandra would love to hear from you.

The Class of 1995 returned to St Hilda’s for their 30th Reunion on Saturday 3 May and celebrated with a tour of the School followed by drinks at The Claremont Hotel. Over 60 registered for their milestone reunion of which over forty returned to School to reminisce and to see how St HIlda’s has updated its teaching spaces.

Thank you to School staff; Kellie Hasluck, Director of School Development and Philanthropy, Sandra Naude, Guardian of St Hilda’s Legacy, Niamh Fitzpatrick, Stewardship Manager and Lizzie Warburton, Almuni Coordinator, for assisting in organising the reunion, preparing the Class of 1995 photo slide show, and for taking the tours on a Saturday afternoon.

Prof Fiona Pixley (1974)

Dr Angela Burvil (2013)

Helen Walker, Head of Science, would like to thank Old Scholars Dr Angela Burvill (2013) and Professor Fiona Pixley (1974) for coming to St Hilda’s to talk to the Year 10 students about their careers, and potential career pathways during class time in April.

This is a new Year 10 elective specifically designed for students considering studying medicine. The students enjoyed the opportunity to pepper their guests with questions about their career pathway and university entry/experience.

Amber Stepatschuk (2022)

We also had a bonus visit from a recent Old Scholar Amber Stepatschuk (2022) who is currently studying 3rd Year Mechanical Engineering and Commerce at UWA and came as a volunteer with the GiE+ class (Girls in Engineering +) to run an incursion for our Year 10 Science and Engineering elective class.

Helen will be looking for more Old Scholars working in medicine, medical research or related fields later in the year

The early days of GHS Sports were filled with a variety of activities; swimming, tennis, hockey, lifesaving and the unique combination of drill and club swimming were among the initial sports offered.

划船

Margaret Manford (Parker, 1924) shared her memories of those early sporting days, “The girls swam in neck-to-knee, black woollen costumes in the Claremont baths at the bottom of the cliff.  They played tennis and hockey in mid-calf, long-sleeved white dresses ..”.

GENERAL SPORTS UNIFORM

The sports uniforms have changed dramatically over the years, becoming more specialised, and the range of sporting activities has also changed.  IGSSA now offers carnival and team sports; Swimming, Cross Country, Athletics, Rowing, Golf, Badminton, Netball, Hockey, Soccer, Softball, Waterpolo, Cricket.  In 2016 Golf was introduced, initially as port of the PSA Golf Competition at Royal Perth Golf Club, it has since evolved into a standalone IGSSA event.

The newest sport to be added to the IGSSA calendar is the AFL All-Stars, established in 2021.

We are very sad to announce the passing of the following Old Scholars:

20 June 1943 – 25 February 2025

Helen Cox (known as ‘Coxie’ to her classmates) died peacefully at home in Dawesville in late February.  Helen’s parents were Rocky and Jim Cox, and she was the younger sister of Jill Sefton (Cox, 1956), Lindsay (deceased) and Geoff Cox.  She was the loving mum of Sean and Julie and Nanna to Harrison.

Far Right: Helen Cox.

Helen was a career Nursing Sister who loved her work and her trees.  Helen had all her affairs in order, including who would look after/inherit her beloved trees, leaving her children and family bemused but loving her even more.

Helen was farewelled at a private family cremation, which was typical of Helen’s lifelong style of ‘no frills or furbelows’, and the Class of 1960 honours her memory as such and with great fondness.

09 May 1936 – 22 March 2025

Jill Cowan passed away peacefully on Saturday 22 March 2025 in Bridgetown.  She was the beloved mother of Jonathon and Benjie, sister and sister- in-law of Sandy and Jenny, Suzanne and Frank, Jim and Elizabeth.

Jill’s father was a farmer from Bridgetown and she arrived as a boarder at St Hilda’s in February 1950 where she became lifelong friends with the other boarders. At School she was the Secretary of the Fellowship, an interschool group consisting of boarders from fifth form upwards, who organised social events such as games, square dancing and suppers.

After school, at around 21 yrs of age, Jill sailed on HMS Centaur to Singapore and met an Irish officer.  They married and lived in Belfast for a number of years where they had 2 sons and a daughter.  Jill eventually settled back to Bridgetown, enjoying her garden, playing bridge and spending time with her children and grandchildren who followed her back to Western Australia.

She is remembered very fondly by her friends of a lifetime.

10 August 1943 – 21 April 2025

Diane leaves behind her partner Terry, daughters Jane, Jo-Anne, Peta and Sally.

Loved by family members Kelvin, Gordon, Craig, grandchildren Rachel and Marco, Kate and Marcus, Matthew and Ellari, Callum, Millie and Ben, Bonnie and Hayden, Ronan, Louisa and great granddaughter Ruth.

Diane entered St Hilda’s in July 1947 as a very local student living on Palmerston Street.  She showed a talent for sports particularly tennis and hockey.

1959 “A” Hockey Team. Back L-R: D Gugeri, S Loader, L Moore, P Maley, J MacPherson, W Gronow, G Clarkson. Front L-R: C Sudlow, G Clarkson, C Milner.

Diane participated in many interschool and interstate events for both sports. Her hockey “A” critique in 1959 read “Diane (Right Inner) has extremely good stickwork, ball control and determination, and could become a really outstanding hockey player. She always combined well with the other forwards, particularly in passing to and receiving from the right wing”. 

In 1959 Diane was slected as a member of the Wilson Cup team which competed in Adelaide before going to Brisbane to play in the Australian Championships.  The 1959 Chronicle reads: “St Hilda’s, in expressing its congratulations, would like Diane to know how much we appreciate the honour to the School”.

The School will commence its Annual Giving Campaign, ‘Take Your Seat’, this month.  St Hilda’s would like to thank the many Old Scholars who give regularly each year. 

This year we are committed to supporting the Joy Shepherd Performing Arts Centre (JSPAC). This beautiful building is now 13 years old and as the cultural heart of the School, serves as a hub for student assemblies, concerts and productions, as well as hosting numerous OSA and community events.  

Sophisticated venues such as this need to be kept in premium condition, including regular updating of sound and lighting systems and other key equipment. To preserve this space we encourage you to make a lasting impact and secure a seat in your name or your family’s name. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation and ‘请就座’ we invite you to donate before the end of the financial year.
