Paddock to 2022 PROGRAM

Presented by the Principal Brenda Holt, the St Hilda’s Student Club Charity Convenors and the Community Engagement team

Our supporters:

We are reminded of our good fortune and the sacrifice our parents and families have made to support our education, and are grateful to the college and wider community for donating items to auction and raffle for such a worthy cause.

Thank you for your support!

We raise funds tonight to support ‘The School Project,’ a National Homeless Collective initiative, who purchase and distribute brand new school equipment, uniforms and essentials to kids who need it most.

Welcome

We are thrilled to be able to celebrate some of our community’s regional producers at this year’s Paddock to Plate. After launching our first Paddock to Plate in 2019, we have not been able to host it again until now. Traditionally a parent community event, we are able to honour the work and lives of so many in our rural and regional communities.

First founded in 1964, St Hilda’s College was built to support rural and regional students attending the University of Melbourne. The majority of our current students hail from rural and regional Australia, our traditional heartland.

St Hilda’s motto, ‘Communitas’, encapsulates what Hilda’s has drawn from rural communities: a strong sense of belonging, connectedness and responsibility to others. Students learn what living in a community is all about while here, and take a greater sense of care and concern for others and our world into further communities.

We are very proud of our long tradition of community, belonging and giving. We hope that tonight, as we focus on raising funds for a charity our students have selected together, that you feel more connected to this community and also feel inspired to continue to give generously in your own communities now and into the future.
