125th Celebrations - School Events

We are looking forward to commemorating the 125th birthday of St Hilda’s Collegiate School on the 19-21st March this year.

We plan to make this a memorable occasion for all our students and have them as involved as much as possible, so they can understand and appreciate the legacy they are part of, and know that they have a significant part to play in the celebrations.

With a commitment to involvement, inclusion and fun at the forefront of our planning, here is the outline for you of the school events and activities for the students, which will be part of the festivities.

Monday March 15th - Displays will go up in the chapel

Tuesday March 16th - Dress up day – Dress in a Decade of the school. We will encourage all our students to dress up in some way

Wednesday March 17th - Assembly with invited speakers, and the introduction of the new school haka

Thursday March 18th - Cathedral service for the whole school, during school time. Students will walk down to the cathedral in ‘crocodile style’ as they did 50 years ago, and then be released from the cathedral at 3:00pm or walk back to school.

Friday March 19th - 12.30pm Cutting of the Cake and badges given to girls. School finishes at 1.15pm and Tolcarne closes at 5.00pm.

School will be closed on Tuesday 23rd March so that all staff and
