It is a pleasure to introduce to you some of those community members who are active in formal volunteer groups and to invite you to join a group of interest.
St Hilda’s School has the wonderful support of Parent Volunteer Groups comprising of enthusiastic parents, grandparents, friends and alumni and we welcome community members to join their group of interest.
Parents and Friends' Association
St Hilda’s Parents and Friends' Association’s quarterly meetings provide a forum for the School Principal and Volunteer Group Presidents to present and share information about School and Community news and events. Meetings are open to all parents and are a great opportunity to engage with fellow St Hilda’s parents and the Leadership team. Annual events include St Hilda’s Fete, Cent Auction and Trivia Night.

Women's Auxiliary
St Hilda’s Women’s Auxiliary (WA) provides a social contact for all mothers within our school community. It is an opportunity for mothers to meet a number of staff and establish friendships across all year levels.
The WA hosts a number of fantastic, fun events throughout the year which generate funds which are reinvested back into the School. The WA sponsors the Fireworks at the Christmas Carols and their High Tea and Mother Daughter luncheon continue to be favourites in our social calendar of events.
The second-hand uniform shop is run by the WA, the quality, value and sustainability makes everyone appreciative!
