Co-Curricular, Extra-Curricular and Service Activities 2020 Inspiring Women for more than a century THE HOMILY OF ST HILDA Trade with the gifts God has given you. Bend your minds to holy learning that you may escape the fretting moth of littleness of mind that would wear out your souls. Brace your wills to action that they may not be the spoils of weak desire. Train your hearts and lips to song which gives courage to the soul. Being buffeted by trials, learn to laugh. Being reproved, give thanks. Having failed, determine to succeed.

V2 2020 060220 Page 4 Introduction At St Hilda’s School we offer a wide range of Co-Curricular activities and also some extra- curricular activities. Many significant life skills are taught or may be learned in these programs. These include leadership, decision-making and commitment, learning to take responsibility in the community, learning to work in teams and motivate others, learning to organise and learning to negotiate. Through their involvement in these activities, students develop a sense of accomplishment and enhance their self-confidence by using their talents and responding to the challenges presented to them. Co-Curricular activities form an integral part in the learning and development of all students as they augment the formal curriculum. Each student in Years 7-12 at St Hilda’s School is expected to participate in at least one Co-Curricular activity each term. This handbook has been designed to help you and your daughter to navigate your way through the array of Co-Curricular and extra-curricular activities available and to assist them to make informed choices. The information contained in this handbook includes a description of each activity and the benefits to participants, including details such as the venue and times each activity is run and contact information for the staff in charge of the activity.
