enter the era of the Seventh Principal of St Hilda's College, we reflect upon a year in which College, and life in general, returned to a more recognisable shape. In 2022, we came together as a community to celebrate achievements and mark significant occasions. This included installing twelve new St Hilda's Fellows, awarding four Communitas Medals, and welcoming more than 800 people to 9 inperson events Sixteen guest speakers addressed students at leadership and professional development activities and thirty alumni to student mentor pairs were established in 2022 These generous gifts of time and expertise not only enrich the student experience but also strengthen the connections to St Hilda's.
MR JAMES HARDIMAN, PRINCIPAL OF ST HILDA'S
Congratulations to James Hardiman who will be installed as the Seventh Principal on Friday 10 February, 2023
MS FIONA CADOREL, DEAN OF STUDENTS
Congratulations to Fiona Cadorel who has commenced her role managing the academic life of the College, and is moving her family into the Dean's residence over summer
COMMUNITY IMPACT REPORT
In October we published a report that highlights the value and impact of our community engagement initiatives. We are grateful to those who have become mentors to current students, supported the academic program and attended events throughout the year.
Our donors contributed $512,653 enabling us to support 39% of our students financially with scholarships and bursaries. All contributions make a difference. Please read the 'Community Impact Report' here
