St Hilda's Referees

This year, we tried to encourage students to develop their skills as a school referee.  Sport can not be played without people picking up a whistle and officiating the game.  It is an incredibly hard role and takes a lot of courage to put yourself into that position.  But we need more willingness across all sports.  Thank you to these students that have umpired weekly and also attended courses and/or exchanges.

Netball: Kerah Alexander, Emily Cleghorn, Madison Cummings, Sophie Cameron, Grace McAuley, Sami Isaacs, Omega Sun

Hockey: Billie Crowe, Charlotte Paterson, Anna McClean
