Being Principal of St Hilda’s College since 2000 has been the highlight of my professional career. As many of you already know, I have decided that 2017 will be my last year in this role. Given my previous connections with the College as student, tutor, Council member and Council Chair, this has been a difficult decision to make. I do, however, believe that the time is right for the College to look to its future and to appoint a new Principal who will lead and direct the College in the years ahead.

Principal’s Report BY BA R BA R A G R E E N

I am pleased to write this report for The Chronicle and in so doing to share with you our reflections on the 2016 College year. As always, it was a year characterised by outstanding academic achievement and high levels of student participation in the life of the College. I hope that you enjoy reading the accounts of the activity and achievements in a range of endeavours which characterised 2016. Whether pursuing their chosen field of study, supporting another student through difficult times, on the sports field, on the stage in the Union Theatre or raising funds for nominated charities, our students have benefitted from the opportunities provided by College membership. They have also given generously to the College community. The opportunity to belong to the special community that is St Hilda’s College is made possible for many of our students by the generosity of our benefactors. In recent years, this generosity has

enabled us to award a number of new scholarships. We know that these scholarships make College membership, and access to the opportunities and support it provides, possible for the recipients. It is important that our scholarships provide meaningful support for these students and we are tremendously grateful to our benefactors for ensuring that we have the means to do this. In November 2016, I attended the second Collegiate Way International Conference which was held at the Australian National University in Canberra. As a member of the International Advisory Committee for the conference, it was rewarding to see colleagues from around Australia and from the UK, South Africa, Canada, the United States, Macao and Singapore come together for the second such conference and to discuss the role of and challenges confronting colleges and collegiate education. As colleagues we had much to share while reaffirming our commitment to the collegiate model with students at its core.

While I am sure that there will be a number of opportunities for reflection during 2017, I would like to use this report to say that it has been a privilege to lead the College and to watch it grow and develop through the construction of the James Wing and the Academic Centre as well as through our regular and significant refurbishment programs and through the implementation of a range of student support initiatives. It has been a highlight to work with so many inspiring young people as they embark on their adult lives through higher education and entrance to the professions. I have stayed in contact with many former students and continue to enjoy catching up with them from time to time. The success of any college year depends on the contributions of many people. I would like to acknowledge the contributions made by the Student Club, Middle and Senior Common Room members, by members of staff, by our College Fellows, by our generous benefactors and by members of the College Council. Council members bring significant expertise to the deliberations which are critical to the College as an organisation managing its priorities and planning for its future. The development of a new strategic plan for the College was a significant achievement in 2016. The focus of the plan is to ensure that within a respectful, supportive and dynamic collegiate environment, students will have access to opportunities that not only enhance their university experience but also prepare them for further study, work and life outside the College. The plan has a number of exciting initiatives which, when implemented, will be reported in future editions of The Chronicle.

Chair of Council’s Report BY DAVID GILBERTSON QC

St Hilda’s College: the path ahead I am pleased to deliver my first report as Chair of St Hilda’s College Council. It has been an honour to work with an outstanding group of Council members and senior staff. Their advice and support have been invaluable. I would particularly like to thank Dr Philippa Soccio, Deputy Chair, Mrs Barbara Green, Principal, and Dr Sergio Fabris, Vice Principal. Barbara and Sergio have been instrumental in establishing St Hilda’s College as a leading residential college. This has been an exciting year for the College. Most importantly, we have spent time developing a new strategic plan. This plan encapsulates our goals for the next three to five years and recognises our wish to grow so that more young people have the opportunity to experience the exceptional benefits of St Hilda’s College.

Governance has also been a major part of the Council’s work during 2016, and we are pleased to report that after many years of discussion with the Uniting Church we can expect incorporation of the College to be finalised in 2017. We welcomed Mr Tim Greenall (1982) during the year and Ms Sally Elford (1988) will join us in early 2017. These two new appointments follow the retirement of long-serving Council members, Associate Professor Elizabeth Dax AM and The Hon Justice James Judd, both of whom provided wise counsel and leadership over many years. We also farewelled Mr James McIntosh, the representative of the Student Club on Council, and Dr Felicia Eng, Senior Common Room representative. We are delighted to welcome to the Council Mr Tim Chenoweth, 2017 student representative to Council and Dr Bronwyn Lowe, Senior Common Room representative.

It has been an honour to work with an outstanding group of Council members and senior staff. Our students are, of course, at the heart of St Hilda’s College. Our undergraduates and graduates are an exuberant and enthusiastic group of young people and I am greatly heartened to know that the students who secure a place at St Hilda’s appreciate the opportunity that this provides. We, in the College, in turn, feel privileged to be able to share with them one of the most transformative periods in their lives. I look forward to another exciting year in 2017.

Inside St Hilda’s Junior Common Room Page 16 Once again, the Junior Common Room has had a successful year. 2016 was an incredible journey for us and the entire Student Club and we feel privileged to have played a part in making it a success.

Middle Common Room Page 22 2016 has been an another fun filled and rewarding year for the members of the Middle Common Room at St Hilda’s. We welcomed many fresh-faced graduates into the group, and enjoyed a year of gags, goofs and laughs, while supporting each other through our postgraduate studies.

Senior Common Room Page 23 What an exciting year 2016 has been for the Senior Common Room. Along with facilitating the College’s academic program, many members participated in a sporting premiership, completed postgraduate studies and we even celebrated a wedding!

Professor Ruth Williams

Alumni News Awards and acknowledgements Dr James Hunt (BSc [Hons] 1999, PhD 2006, St Hilda’s College) was presented with the 2016 Grains Research and Development Corporation Southern Region Seed of Light award for his contribution to communicating the outcomes of grains research. Dr Hunt’s pioneering research into water use efficiency, time of sowing and stubble management has changed many growers’ practices. Dr Jenny Smith (1973) was appointed the Chair of Homelessness Australia/Victoria. Mrs Sheila Byard OAM (1964), one of St Hilda’s Founding Students and a former member of St Hilda’s Council, was named in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours as a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). Professor Ruth Williams (1973) was honoured with the 2016 John von Neumann Theory Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics. The prize, given annually, is named after famed mathematician

John von Neumann and is regarded as the Nobel Prize in this branch of mathematics. Professor Williams, who holds the Charles Lee Powell Endowed Chair in Mathematics at the University of San Diego, analyses math models associated with real-life problems. Professor Williams completed her undergraduate studies and a master’s research thesis at the University of Melbourne before moving to the United States to attend Stanford University, where she received her PhD in 1983, the year she was recruited to the University of California, San Diego. Over the past three decades, Professor Williams has received numerous scholarly accolades and has taken a special interest in mentoring women and people from under-represented groups from postdoctoral fellows to high school students, to study and consider careers in mathematics.

We are extremely proud of Charlotte Sutherland (2010), who took her place alongside her team mates in the Australian Women’s Coxed Eight in Rio during the 2016 Olympics Games. Charlotte represented the College and Australia with great enthusiasm and dignity. Jess Geeve-Whitehall (2012) has been awarded the Maggs Johnson Travel Bursary for Veterinary Science Students and will travel to University of California in 2017. Jess will report on her travels and her experiences during her extramural placement at the University of California, Davis. This placement is awarded as part of the bursary. This bursary has been provided through the generous support of Dr David Maggs and Dr Lynelle Johnson, frequent visiting scholars to St Hilda’s College.

Marriages Ben Forbes and Adlin Ramzdan were married in Singapore among family and friends in May 2016. Ben and Adlin, who met while resident tutors at St Hilda’s, held a second celebration for their Melbourne-based friends and colleagues in the grounds of St Hilda’s on their return from Singapore. Congratulations to Peter Reisinger (2006) and Lavena Reisinger (nee Ramdutt) who married in Centennial Park, Sydney in September 2016. Andy Hone (2006), who was Celebrant and MC at the wedding, studied at St Hilda’s with Peter, where they were great friends. St Hilda’s was the venue for the wedding of Felicity Jackling and Matthew Lynch in January 2016. Felicity, a resident tutor at St Hilda’s for four years, was delighted to include many St Hilda’s alumni and current residents among the guests. Felicity’s parents, Beverley and Graeme Jackling, were married at St Hilda’s College more than 40 years ago. ‘It was really special to be married at St Hilda’s,’ Felicity said. ‘The table we used to sign our marriage documentation was the same one my parents used to sign theirs and is a family heirloom.’ Sarah Green (2009) and Charles Webster had a country wedding in October 2016, at the Webster family property in Corryong, New South Wales. Sarah and Charles were unaware they were neighbours for three years when Sarah resided at St Hilda’s College and Charles resided just along the Crescent at Queen’s. They met two years later and married. Sarah’s three best friends, who she met in her first week at St Hilda’s College, were her bridesmaids.

Engagements Richard Dutton (2007), a past President of St Hilda’s College, and Sophie Coolican of Sydney were delighted to share the news of their engagement. Richard proposed to Sophie on the beach near the couple’s home in Sydney the day before they flew to Europe and the UK for a holiday over the festive season. Richard and Sophie celebrated their happy news with family and friends. Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to Whitney Atkinson (2008) and Mark Phillips (2008) on their engagement. Announcing their happy news, Whitney said, ‘Mark and I have lots of memories and wonderful friends from our time at St Hilda’s College. ‘We had so much fun this year attending two weddings of old friends from our St Hilda’s College days. College love is in the air!’

New arrivals Grace Mitchell (2002) and Lachlan Taylor (2000) welcomed their daughter Odette Sakura Taylor in March. Sakura is the Japanese word for ‘cherry blossom’ and suits Odette perfectly.

Vale Annelie Ida Huxhagen, nee Zoebisch (1964) After graduating from school and applying for a government job as an interpreter, Annelie Ida Huxhagen was told, as a woman, she would probably have children soon and so her application was unsuccessful. Never one to be deterred, Annelie applied to study at the University of Melbourne and three years later graduated with a Diploma of Education. Annalie was one of the Founding Students of St Hilda’s College and resided here for the three years of her studies.

Annalie’s first teaching appointment was at Cheltenham High teaching German, Social studies and Geography. She went on to teach at Hamilton Secondary College and Hamilton Good Shepard College until her early retirement in 2003, due to ill health. Annelie is remembered by her faculty and students alike for her ability to encourage her students in their studies. On her retirement from teaching, a colleague and friend of Annalie’s wrote: ‘You were a great teacher who was deeply committed to your students. You were in turn widely admired and respected by students and peers alike.’ Over the years, many students wrote to Annalie and shared stories of how they had gone on to use the German she had taught them. Two of her students wrote to say they had become teachers, following her role in their education and their lives. Many more of her students travelled the world due to Annelie’s support and encouragement. Annelie is survived by her husband, Rainer Huxhagen, who said: ‘My soul mate died on the 25th September this year [2016] when she could no longer fight the cancer she had held off for 16 years. Annalie had a great love for her time at St Hilda’s, she often spoke of her St Hilda’s days and her degree always hung proudly in her study.’

New chapters In November, Triple J broke the news that St Hilda’s alum Alex Dyson (2009) and his co-presenter Matt Okine had announced their departure from Triple J after three years at the helm of their highly successful Breakfast Show. Alex had been at Triple J for 10 years. Immersed in his radio career since his university days, Alex will take some time travelling the world before embarking on his next creative chapter. We are delighted that he has become a highly regarded member of the Australian entertainment industry and proud of his achievements.

Alumni visitors from across the globe Jodi Vaughan, nee McJoynt (1994) visited St Hilda’s in August during her holiday in Australia from her home in San Diego. Jodi was a visiting student from California back in 1994 and made a splash as part of the St Hilda’s Women’s Rowing Crew. Jodi was thrilled to find her name on the commemorative oar for the 1994 Women’s Rowing Crew, still proudly displayed in the Dining Hall. Thank you for dropping by, Jodi.

We were happy to welcome Professor Yvonne Reed (Yvonne Bickley, 1966), one of St Hilda’s Founding Students, back to College during her recent trip to Melbourne to present a paper at the Australian Association for Research in Education conference.

a visit in December 2016.

After graduating from the University of Melbourne (BA Hons 1969), Yvonne worked for the Australian Department of Education and Science in Zambia before completing a Master of Education. While there, Yvonne coordinated school completion programs for young people detained by the apartheid government for their political activities. In 1993, she was appointed to the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, where she taught, completed her PhD and conducted research in the field of language and literacy teacher education. Yvonne is currently Visiting Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she supervises PhD students’ research and facilitates writing retreats for postgraduate students and early career academics.

Alumni Events Young alumni reunion event – White Christmas in July We were pleased to welcome almost 120 young alumni community members (2005–2015) to a wonderful White Christmas in July cocktail event. The festive evening was great fun with Christmas themed drinks and entertainment, and many young alumni reunited with old friends and soaked up the nostalgia with College celebrations. The Junior Common Room was transformed into a silver and blue winter wonderland for the evening, complete with falling snowflakes, twinkling lights and a visit from Santa. Special thanks to the Event Committee: Clare Parker (2013), Evie Loveband (2013) and Mia Wisniewski (2013) for their ingenuity, energy and humour in helping to create a fantastic evening. Looking forward to seeing you at the next Young alumni reunion event in 2017! The full album of photographs from this enjoyable reunion event is available to view on the online alumni community site. Simply log in to alumni.hildas. unimelb.edu.au to view this and many more memories from College events. Regional alumni and community evenings It is always a pleasure to reunite and reconnect with alumni, parents and friends of St Hilda’s. During 2016, we hosted a series of evenings in regional Victoria, Tasmania, Canberra and Sydney. It was great to see so many old friends and alumni again and we were proud to welcome prospective parents and introduce them to the St Hilda’s community. We plan to host a similar series of events between June and September in 2017 and look forward to seeing you again.

Mentoring Program Since launching the St Hilda’s Mentoring Program in 2015, the program has gone from strength to strength. Mentoring partnerships are offered exclusively to students in their third year of residence to provide mentoring and support for the upcoming transition from undergraduate study into a professional career or to postgraduate education.

‘It was interesting to meet someone so successful and working in an industry that I am interested in despite having a law background. Luke definitely challenged my thinking at times and was a very wise mentor. I learned a great deal from him about how to approach my future career.’ Inez Zheng

In 2016, almost half of our third-year residents expressed an interest in being partnered with a mentor with academic or professional experience across a broad range of specialisms from engineering, psychology and law to professional sports and speech pathology. ‘Having the opportunity to talk to Caitlin and hear about her career in lecturing and speech pathology was very rewarding. To hear about her experiences and career pathways was especially valuable when it came time to make decisions about my own further education and career opportunities.’ Cassandra Marotta

St Hilda’s mentoring: A lasting impact In September 2016, we received an email from one of our mentors, Phoebe Barr (2008). Phoebe took part in the St Hilda’s Mentoring Program in its pilot year, 2015, acting as mentor to third-year Pharmacy student Caitlin Hand. The mentoring partnership has flourished into an ongoing professional relationship that is rewarding and valuable to both. ‘I write to thank you for the opportunity of becoming a mentor to Caitlin Hand. ‘Since becoming Caitlin’s mentor last year we have kept in touch throughout her education and now into the first steps of her career. During this time, I have helped her with preparation and interviews for internship positions. The experience has been invaluable for both parties; I am so happy to have been a part of it and am pleased to have helped make a difference, both to a member of the St Hilda’s community and to the pharmacy profession. Thanks again, Phoebe Barr Sincere thanks to all who have expressed interest in mentoring a third-year student. As soon as a third-year student enrols with a goal to work in your area of expertise, we will be able to connect you to each other. Thank you to those who have already mentored students over the past two years. St Hilda’s Mentoring Program will return in 2017. Mentoring typically consists of two to four conversations throughout the academic year, depending on the individual mentor-mentee connection. To express interest in becoming a mentor please contact Alumni Engagement Manager, Joanna Scott Payne on alumni@hildas.unimelb.edu.au

National Association of Australian University Colleges BY DEM I TR A M CCARTH Y, CH LOE M UM F ORD A N D SOP H I E SI M PSON

In the mid-year break three St Hilda’s students attended the 48th Annual NAAUC Conference, held in Sydney. The National Association of Australian University Colleges (NAAUC) is the main representative body for university students living on campus. The conference brings together students throughout the country to discuss all things related to college life. We attended academic sessions about student leadership roles, dealing with conflict and how to organise social events. We listened to guest speakers, including voice actor Robyn Moore and author of The Naked CEO Alex Malley. We also had fun at some of the social activities: a harbor cruise and a game of the amazing race, played in the centre of Sydney.

One of the most rewarding experiences of the conference was talking to students from other universities about how they organise their activities and sharing stories.

The National Association of Australian University Colleges (NAAUC) is the main representative body for university students living on campus. After the conference, we presented to the 2016 General Committee of St Hilda’s what we learned and how we could improve aspects of our own College.

level bonding event the girls had a sleepover party while the boys took a chance or two at a homemade casino. Our sports representatives ran their first vote count to celebrate our cricket and softball players’ achievements. Open Turn showcased our talented musicians and we finally wrapped up the semester with a whole College Bounce trip and Music Night. After the Winter break, we returned to start semester two. It was good to see our small group of fresh freshers fit easily into life at St Hilda’s soon after arriving. The semester kicked off with one of our favourite nights of the year, Christmas in July, with all the trimmings including a visit from Santa, organised and run by our first-year representatives.

Junior Common Room President and Vice President’s Report BY JA M ES M C I N TO S H PRESI DE NT AND BRIT TA NY NU GE NT VICE PRESIDEN T

2016 was an incredible journey for us and the entire Student Club and we feel privileged to have played a part in making it a success. It’s hard to believe that just over a year ago Mia and Justin (the 2015 President and Vice President) gave us the thrilling news that we were to be the next President and Vice President of the Junior Common Room. We didn’t have the opportunity to get to know each other throughout our first two years at College, but soon after our first coffee catch up (the first of many) we knew we’d make a great team. The year began with ‘DinO-week’, where 106 new Hildarians were welcomed to the College, the University and to Melbourne itself through a dinosaur/jungle themed orientation week. First years were introduced to their new living environment and to the motto that every St Hilda’s student comes to live by – Communitas.

Our team of 12 O-Week leaders greeted the first years and their families on Welcome Sunday before diving into a jam-packed week of activities. From swimming to bowling, to their first formal dinner and the infamous Toga Turn, everyone had the opportunity to get to know each other and make friendships that are still going strong today. Exhausted but bursting with excitement for all things college, the freshers ended the week with a trip to Lord Somers Camp, while the O-Week leaders had a well-deserved rest before the year got underway. We’d like to thank the O-Week leaders team for organising and running this successful event. First semester began with our Commencement Dinner to welcome back our returning students and to celebrate the new year. Soon after, we eased into the year with our Riverland event at the Riverland Bar on the Yarra, rekindling old friendships and starting new ones. At our first major inter-year

The festivities continued into the semester with the next big event of the year, the Hilda’s Ball, which raised money for its chosen charity the Lighthouse Foundation. The Melbourne Pavilion was the perfect venue for this year’s theme, Bright Lights, Big City, and everyone responded by dressing up and joining in the fun, making the night a huge success. This semester also saw the Communitas Committee thrive with possibly the most successful Communitas Gala Night to date. Combined with various fundraising events from throughout the year, over $13,000 was raised for the McGrath Foundation. Hearing about the lifechanging work the McGrath Breast Care nurses do throughout Australia was moving and inspiring. Although that seems like a lot, the semester was far from over. Next up was our talented Hildarians, who took to the stage in this year’s College play, The Drowsy Chaperone. In the true spirit of Communitas we both got involved, with Brittany working on the choreography and James, continuing the tradition of the President cameo performance, playing the Maintenance Guy. The cast, crew and band gave it their all and together produced an outstanding production. One of our leading ladies, Catherine De Luca, won the Union House Theatre Award for Best Performance in a Musical.

With only a few days to recover from our theatrical success, we celebrated St Hilda’s Day, the biggest day on the College calendar. Wearing the St Hilda’s green and blue colours, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast, followed by karaoke and wrestling in sumo suits. We closed the year with our annual Variety Night and Sports Dinner, which further showcased our talented students. As third years, we were involved in the Valedictory Day celebrations with our fellow third-year students, reflecting on our time at St Hilda’s and recognising the contribution we had made to the College, before heading off into the world. Our day included a photo shoot, laser tag, barefoot bowls and a limo ride, ending with a formal dinner celebration with the rest of the College. Our small third-year group had become close over the year, so the day spent together was special.

One of the major achievements for the Student Club was further developments in our pastoral care system. One of the major achievements for the Student Club was further developments in our pastoral care system. This year we established a Student Pastoral Care team consisting of six members, including the President and Vice President, and a male and female representative from first and second-year levels. This provided students with a clear first point of contact if they wished to talk to someone. Thanks to the assistance of our Vice Principal Dr Sergio Fabris and the administration team, we were able to run an additional mental health first aid training session for students during the winter break, with an overwhelming number of keen volunteers. We’d like to thank Tim Chenoweth for his hard work developing this program. Education and awareness of mental health at St Hilda’s will continue to grow in the years to come.

From a sporting perspective we flourished in 2016, beginning and finishing the year with a Premiership win under our belts in squash and badminton. We also took out the Second’s Girls Netball Premiership for the second consecutive year. But overall the College was at its impressive best as an active support base for each sport, with a large percentage of students turning up to cheer on their friends in the early hours of the morning. We couldn’t be more proud of their Communitas spirit. Culturally the year was a great success, with our participation levels continuing to rise in intercollegiate activities. From our energetic dancers at the Fresher Dance Off, to the hilarious Film Festival entry, and finally to a stellar Battle of the Bands performance, St Hilda’s impressed with a willingness to give everything a go and have a bit of fun in the process. Being President and Vice President at St Hilda’s was one of the hardest tasks we’ve ever done, but it was also one of the most rewarding. Experiencing the inner workings of the College gave us another perspective, which has helped to shape us into the leaders we are today, the leaders we certainly weren’t back when Mia and Justin first gave us that life-changing news. Looking back, we achieved a lot more than we could ever have imagined and, despite the challenges, we are a lot stronger.

We’d like to thank everyone who held a leadership role in the College and those who just got around everything and everyone to get things done. We’d also like to thank Barbara and Sergio and the rest of the administration team for their valuable support and advice. We also had the privilege of working with the outstanding group of people who are the 2016 General Committee. Together we achieved so much, despite a few hiccups, which we worked through with true professionalism. Thank you so much guys for the best year, we couldn’t have done it without you. For us the past three years have been some of the best of our lives. St Hilda’s has provided opportunities we never thought possible, particularly through our roles this year. We’ve both made friendships that will last a lifetime and we could not have asked for a better community of people to share this crazy experience with. The Communitas spirit is certainly something we’re taking with us forever and we can’t wait to see what’s next for us and for St Hilda’s in the years to come.

Student Club Directors BY JAC O B HYS LO P, INDIA BA RROW AND TO M CARM AN

Social Director - Jacob Hyslop This year I had the opportunity to be part of the General Committee of 2016 as St Hilda’s social director. The job entailed organising events throughout the year and interacting with College students. It was truly rewarding to see everyone enjoying themselves at events such as Chicks and Casino night, Social Tour and the Olympic event. I also introduced a back quad live music event with the help of the Communitas and Music conveners, which for me was the highlight of the year. It was great to see everyone taking the time to sit back and relax for an hour or two while some of our best musicians took to the stage. It was also good working alongside St Mary’s, Whitley and University colleges for this year’s paint party. It’s a great way for students to get to know people living along the Crescent, and for extending our social portfolio beyond the walls of our own College. The party was a huge success and another personal highlight. A special thanks goes to my committee members for all their hard work and to other members of the General Committee, who were always around to lend a helping hand. So thanks again to everyone who helped make Social Committee 2016 so successful.

Cultural Director - India Barrow Being the elected 2016 cultural director of the College allowed me to get involved in College culture from the ground up. Part of my role was sitting on the Intercollegiate Activities Council (ICAC) and organising cultural events within the College. The ICAC organises a wide range of events from Film Fest and Quidditch to Fresher Dance Off and Battle of the Bands. Hilda’s was well represented in all events and enjoyed success throughout the year, placing first at the film festival. These events provided a great opportunity for Hilda’s students to meet other collegians and participate in exciting activities. As a member of ICAC, I enjoyed working with the other representatives and promoting intercollegiality in a fun and inclusive environment. With the help of my committee, we provided numerous events within the College, including the Wine and Cheese nights and International Beer and Cocktails (IBC). This year we collaborated with the Music Committee to provide refreshments for Open Mic night, organise Experience Melbourne week and introduced an international-themed dinner before IBC. The highlight of my year and a definite perk of this role was learning more about our neighbours around the Crescent and making some amazing friends.

Funktions Director - Tom Carman This year was another busy one for the Functions Committee, organising seven different Turns. As always, we started the year with Toga Turn, as we welcomed the freshers to the College while celebrating a successful O-Week. At the Commencement Dinner we saw the return of old faces as the rest of the students got back into the swing of things. The Turn themes this year varied from simplicity with the forever classic Back to School, to obscurity with the ingenious Spirit of Turnsmania. Personally, the most demanding yet rewarding event was Open Turn, which took place this year at the Workers Club in Fitzroy. This event involved the collaboration of the Functions and Music committees, as the talented St Hilda’s musicians got their chance to perform in front of an audience of 200 people. As funktions director, my role had its challenges but it taught me to take nothing for granted, especially the work that goes into an event to ensure it is successful and safe for all involved. I learned that the most important part of preparation for the Open Turn was the meticulous process of compiling the playlist and managing the song requests. A huge shout out to all the members of the Funktions and General committees for the endless hours moving furniture, shopping for supplies and mopping floors late into the night. Your help was vital to the night’s success.

Second Year Representatives BY T I M C H E N OWE T H AND ASH CU NIA L

It was an honour to represent second years at St Hilda’s College in 2016 – such an inspiring group of people. This role includes the organisation and distribution of College merchandise, organising events and coordinating sponsorship of the Student Club. A lot of behind-the-scenes work was done over the summer to make sure the Student Club was well supplied with merchandise items throughout the year. We introduced spray jackets into our collection, which was a much needed addition for Melbourne’s infamous weather. Bonding over a love of spreadsheets, we established a system for recording merchandise sales and orders, making it easier to conduct ‘merch’ sales. This new system added accountability and professionalism to the role and met a strategic goal of our entire General Committee.

The Student Club was given a boost this year, with our first ever centralised sponsorship deal. After negotiations with The Shaw Davey Slum, we helped gain sponsorship for not only the Student Club, but for the Annual Ball and our College play. We are proud of this sponsorship deal and hope our efforts to centralise student club sponsorship can be built upon in the future. Second year cocktails and the trip to Bounce received positive reports. While organising these events could sometimes be stressful, the two of us working together meant that tasks were always completed. We learned so much about communication, organisation and time management from these experiences, and developed a life-long friendship.

As part of this role, we had the privilege of being transition leaders for the incoming first years at the Lord Somers Camp, which is part of O-Week. This was a chance for second years to bond and integrate with the first years and to offer some insights into what to expect for the year ahead. The camp was definitely a highlight of the year for both of us, providing an opportunity to shape the year through offering positive advice to the first years.

This new system added accountability and professionalism to the role and met a strategic goal of our entire General Committee. What a year is has been! We would like to thank the whole Student Club for their ongoing support and look forward to seeing Adrian and Grace take over next year, as we are sure that next year’s second years will be in safe hands.

First Year Representatives BY G R AC E LAV E NDA R AND A DRIA N OATS

One of the best things about St Hilda’s for freshers is the wonderful welcome you get from the Hilda’s community.

we planned a day of entertaining activities for freshers, where you could reflect on the year as a group and remind yourself of shared memories.

During O-Week, our 2016 cohort was brought together at many social events, where we got to know each other and made friends.

One of the Environmental Committee’s achievements was a three-year plan for reducing food wastage at College.

With support from students in the higher year levels, we soon settled into our new routines. The huge size of the campus was a bit daunting, but we managed to find our way around. A great feature of university life is the online lectures, which you can listen to anywhere, at any time, even from the comfort of your own bed. As part of our role as Fresher Reps, we sat on the Environmental Committee. One of the committee’s achievements was a three-year plan for reducing food wastage at College. We also organised Christmas in July, the first formal dinner of second semester, which ran smoothly and was a great success. For another event,

As members of the General Committee of the Student Club, we were actively involved in student issues within the College. This allowed us to represent the first years by providing a platform where their voices could be heard. We also attended many of our sporting and cultural events, where many first years were involved. Along with other members of the College, we had another highly successful year in intercollegiate events.

When we were elected as fresher representatives, we were excited by the prospect of contributing to the enjoyment of college life for first-year students. We assisted and provided input for running events at weekly general committee meetings and represented the first years. As members of the General Committee of the Student Club, we were able to build on our leadership skills and broaden our life experiences through organising these student events. We would like to thank the first-year students for an incredible year of fun and hard work. We would also like to thank the other members of the General Committee and administration staff for working with us and helping us fulfil our roles. We are very excited to be returning in 2017 and look forward to doing it all again as the second-year representatives.

Despite juggling busy academic, sporting and cultural calendars , the grads managed to host various social events throughout the year. We started semester one with the annual SCR-MCR cocktail night, which provides an important opportunity for the tutors, grads and staff to foster relationships in a relaxed setting. We also hosted associate events with third-year members of the JCR and Senior Common Room (SCR), such as our Hilda’s Family Feud Evening. To cap off the year, we held the annual St Hilda’s Intercollegiate Halloween Party, where graduates from the other colleges on the Crescent were invited to come and experience life and party as a Hildarian. The year was busy and at times stressful, but it was also full of laughter and fun. It has run incredibly smoothly, and I can’t

Middle Common Room President’s Report BY L AW R E N C E B U R K E

2016 has been an another fun filled and rewarding year for the members of the Middle Common Room (MCR) at St Hilda’s. We welcomed many fresh-faced graduates into the group, and enjoyed a year of gags, goofs and laughs, while supporting each other through our postgraduate studies.

The graduate students were also involved in tutoring and offering academic help to the Junior Common Room (JCR), and formed many friendships with the undergrads throughout the year.

thank the committee members enough and every single member of the MCR for their help in creating the supportive family that I have loved living with for the past three years. Sadly, we say goodbye to some of our members who will not be returning, and we congratulate those who have finished their studies and wish them luck. I’d also like to wish Caitlin Frampton-Reid, the MCR President for 2017, all the best for 2017. I’m sure she will accomplish wonderful things with her committee and the returning grads, and ensure the MCR is a supportive family to all its members once again. Middle Common Room members.

The MCR group is a tightknit and important one for the graduate students, as for many it is their first time living in Melbourne. On top of this, the study schedules can often be long and stressful, so coming home after an intense day and de-stressing with the MCR group (watching TV or a movie, or just hanging out and enjoying a meal together) helps immensely. At St Hilda’s our support network is essential, but St Hilda’s also offers many opportunities for the grads to get involved in the sport and cultural aspects of College life. Many MCR members were part of the cricket, softball, netball, track and field and football teams in 2016, and supported other sporting and ICAC events.

there were high hopes of winning the College’s third consecutive Squash premiership. However, we fell to Queen’s in the semi-finals and the disappointment was palpable. But in a twist of fate, we were thrown a lifeline and a rematch was called. We pulled through in a nail-biter to face Ormond in the final. Having been given a second chance, there was no stopping us! Congratulations to the entire team and thank you to those who worked tirelessly to ensure the integrity of the competition. In May, we celebrated the marriage of two of our veteran tutors, Ben Forbes (Physics) and Adlin Ramdzan (Chemistry). Some might say that these two had plenty of chemistry and found themselves irresistibly attracted to each other from day one. Their fairytale began

when they met at college five years ago and has culminated in their wedding earlier this year. The story is far from over though and we all wish Ben and Adlin the very best for their future together. Extra congratulations to Adlin on the completion of her PhD in Chemistry.

BY F E L IC IA E NG

What an exciting year 2016 has been for the Senior Common Room. Along with facilitating the College’s academic program, many members participated in a sporting premiership, completed postgraduate studies and we even celebrated a wedding! We began the year by welcoming five new members to the SCR: Lachlan McIntosh, Dula Panagodage, Mitch Anderson, Michael Li and Celestine Bouniu. In O-Week, the Lord Somers Camp was a great chance for the new tutors to bond and learn about the unique community that is St Hilda’s College. On the beaches of the Mornington Peninsula, the tutors met their first-year mentor groups. There’s nothing quite like a sporting competition to bring new students and new tutors together. Through handball and own goals in Beach Soccer and ultimate face plants in Ultimate Frisbee, students and tutors were well acquainted by the end, though some more battered and bruised than others.

This was good practice for the intercollegiate clashes that came later in the year. In March, we celebrated our first intercollegiate sporting premiership with the Squash team winning under controversial circumstances. With three seasoned campaigners from the SCR – James Kavourakis, Tim Greenwa and myself –

I’d also like to congratulate James Proudfoot, who is this year’s recipient of the Pam Todd Research Scholarship. The scholarship will fund his research into a voluntary eugenics program in Singapore that was implemented in the 1980s. This year we say goodbye to several members of the SCR. Ben, Adlin, Dula, Llew, Michael and Celeste will all be moving on to the next stage of their lives. After four years, I will also be departing after completing my PhD in Mathematics. From the departing tutors, I would like to express our thanks for the incredible community we will now forever be a part of and we all wish the SCR the very best for 2017.

Senior Common Room members.

International Susan Holmes Scholarship Report BY R E C I P I EN T JAS O N A RCHE R (201 5 )

Jason Archer (2015) was the recipient of the 2015 Susan Holmes Travelling Scholarship, which was established in memory of Susan Holmes (1964) by her husband, Dr David Smith AM. The scholarship assists a St Hilda’s College student to travel overseas and experience a wider world. Jason, a Mathematical Physics graduate, shares his experiences in Italy where his language skills, his family history and his love of science came together to create a trip he will always remember. In the 1950s my grandmother made the voyage from her small town in Italy to a new life in Australia. I have often wondered what life was like for my grandmother in Italy, and wished to know more about my cultural heritage. In June 2016, I was fortunate enough to fulfil this wish. After arriving in Rome, I travelled to Capri where I took a precarious chairlift ride up the mountain to see the breath-taking views of the island. The next day I went to my grandmother’s birthplace, the small town of Bella, to visit the tiny house she grew up in and meet my extended family, still living in Bella after all these years.

Seeing the small, basic house in her pretty but isolated town gave me an idea of what life was like in 1950’s Italy. After talking to my family, I began to understand what had inspired my grandmother to take such a brave step and emigrate to Australia. My family in Bella had not seen my grandmother in many years and were keen to hear all about her. As no one spoke English, it was a great opportunity to practice my Italian. When the language barrier became too difficult, we turned to charades to communicate, which was hilarious! 2

From Bella I travelled to Florence and to the beautiful city of Siena. During a visit to Museo Galileo, a museum dedicated to the history of science, I was fascinated to see the Renaissance equipment used to develop the concepts I had studied in my Physics degree. Next stop was The Globe of Science and Innovation in Geneva. The tours are led by the research scientists who work at The Globe. Hearing them speak about their ground-breaking research was amazing. After travelling via the Alps to Berlin, I saw the awe-inspiring Berlin Wall. Then on to Copenhagen, where I spent a day of sight-seeing before my flight home.

Reflecting on my experience, the opportunity to develop my Italian language skills and to see the possibilities of a career in research science meant a lot to me. Spending time with my older relatives in Italy is something I would not have otherwise been able to do. For this, I thank Dr David Scott whose generosity made it possible. This incredible experience has strengthened my ties with my family, has helped me to understand what it’s like to leave your home country and has helped inform and inspire my future career. It has helped shape the person I am and the person I hope to become.

Student Support and Welfare Academic Academically, the student results this year were excellent with an average across the year of 24 per cent of all enrolled students’ subjects gaining first class honours. To achieve this, we had a fantastic team of 14 resident tutors and 50 non-resident tutors delivering a high quality and comprehensive tutorial program across all year levels. Three resident tutors completed their PhDs in this past year. A further great achievement.

Mentoring Programs

Academia and Student Support BY DR SERGIO FABRIS

2016 was again a successful College year both academically and in community life. In this past year, the College sought to enhance its service provision to students in a number of ways. In the student support area, the Student Counsellor continued her work in assisting students. Alongside this resource, Student Pastoral Care Support workers were also appointed and trained to help. Academically, the College appointed a part-time career counsellor to support and advise students in making course and career decisions. The College also continued to provide over 130 tutorials per semester across each year level to its students. I wish to thank the leadership teams across all the common rooms (Senior, Middle and Junior) of the College for providing strong, proactive leadership and always being open to talk with me about matters of concern. It has been a great pleasure working with you.

This past year saw our Information Technology Manager, Tristan Lawes, upgrade our tutorial management system and create an online payment facility. It also saw our College Librarian, James Proudfoot, introduce the Book Club, which has brought together a cross section of the students and staff in our community.

Academically, the student results this year were excellent with an average across the year of 24 per cent of all enrolled students’ subjects gaining first class honours. I outline here some of the achievements across the different service delivery areas.

First year Mentoring Program To assist students in their transition from leaving home, making new friends, living in Melbourne, settling into their course at university and making the most of College life, all first-year students participated in our Fresher Mentoring Program. One night each week during first semester, each fresher along with six other first-year students meets over dinner with a resident tutor from their discipline area. In free flowing conversations the tutor gauges how each student is coping with these transition issues. Matters of concern are brought to my attention for follow-up. Senior Students’ Mentoring Program The Senior Students’ Mentoring Program, established last year, was again a success. We are grateful to the many alumni of the College who generously volunteered their time to meet with our senior students and guide them in their career exploration and direction. Ten students participated in the program.

Pastoral care I have been fortunate to have had numerous people support me in helping students who were experiencing personal, social and psychological challenges throughout the year. I outline some of these supports below. Counselling I wish to thank Linda Russell, who worked as a counsellor with me this year and ably assisted numerous students on a one to one and group basis.

Student pastoral care workers I also wish to thank Tim Chenoweth, Alice Matson, Jordan Lane and Mia Shaddock for their dedication in supporting their peers in times of need (many times after hours).

I have been fortunate to have had numerous people support me in helping students who were experiencing personal, social and psychological challenges throughout the year. Mental health first aid training As a clear sign of the College community’s sense of responsibility in supporting each other, over 50 students (one quarter of the College body) were trained in Mental Health and First Aid. This is a two-day course designed to equip participants to become more knowledgeable about mental health issues and enabling them to make referrals to professional staff.

Career counselling The College employed a part-time Careers Counsellor this year to great effect. Ms Kathy Andison provided individual and group sessions to new students unclear about their career direction and subject selection. She also supported later year students seeking postgraduate course information and skills in resume writing and preparation for job interviews.

Wellbeing activities Two popular wellbeing activities were programed throughout the academic year and were well attended. For those who were more meditative, yoga was on offer early Wednesday mornings. For those seeking a more active workout, Zumba was on offer early Friday mornings. I thank each member of our College for making 2016 such a successful year and look forward to 2017. I extend my best wishes to all members of the St Hilda’s community.

A culture of giving back We at St Hilda’s College are immensely grateful for the generosity and loyalty of our donors. Your investment in the future of the College is greatly appreciated and valued. Together, we are helping to provide a dynamic place where our students can pursue their dreams, discover new passions, make life-long friends and achieve their goals. During 2016, we awarded five new scholarships to students who otherwise could not attend St Hilda’s. These young people came from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and the scholarships varied from 25 – 50 per cent of fees. Each of these students now has the opportunity to thrive and succeed in their studies. The Alice Paton Library was the recipient of generous donor support. Your donations have been used to improve the learning experiences of our students,

by providing extra textbooks and essential academic resources, as well as improved facilities and other recreational materials. We particularly thank our founding students, many of whom have chosen to support the Rural Opportunity Scholarship for Women, a scholarship set up by Professor Susan Henning (Goddard, 1964) and Dr Vikram Rao. Your donations mean that we can increase the duration and impact of the fund substantially. During the year, we farewelled Justine Baranauskas, Alumni Relations Manager, and welcomed Joanna Scott Payne into the role of Alumni and Community Engagement Manager. We value greatly our relationship with our past students and their ongoing involvement in the life of the College. On behalf of St Hilda’s College, I thank you for your commitment to the success of our College.

Academic Dinners Scholars Dinner Each year we celebrate the academic achievements of our students with our Scholars Dinner. College Fellows, resident tutors and academic staff all attend the Scholars Dinner, making it one of the most diverse dinners on the College Calendar. Our Visiting Scholar and guest speaker for the night, Professor Bernard Wood, renowned scientific commentator and paleoanthropologist provided an inspiring insight into his world of research on human evolution.

Leaders Dinner The annual College Leaders Dinner was held in May, where past and present students who have held leadership positions at the College come together for a night of networking and sharing experiences from their time at St Hilda’s. This year our guest speaker was Corinne Armour (1984), past student of the College. Corinne spoke about different leadership styles and how they can derail you as a leader. Corinne is very experienced in leadership coaching and shared clever anecdotes with us, based on her recently published book Developing Direct Reports. We thoroughly enjoyed Corinne’s bright presentation and the time she spent answering questions at the end of the night.

Sports Report BY DY L A N G R AC I AS A ND A LICE MATS O N

2016 was another huge year in Hilda’s Sport, fielding teams in each of the 10 sports offered by the Intercollegiate Sports Council (ICSC). Highlights of the year included bringing home premierships in squash, seconds netball and badminton, and fielding competitive sides in every team we entered. The sports calendar kicked off with cricket and softball, highlighted by our inaugural Cricket Pink Stumps Day, which was organised by the Communitas Committee. The cricket firsts managed to finish in a commendable third position after playing all their matches in a single day, while the women’s softball team finished fourth. Being the first sports of the year, these are often two of the most popular, and it was great to see so many of our new freshers getting involved, competing and supporting. After a two-week season of hard fought competition, our mixed squash team was the first of the year to bring home a premiership. Congratulations to our combined captain/coach tutors 34

James and Fel, who nurtured the team to victory. First semester also saw our Hilda’s students competing in a highly successful Athletics Carnival, including the ever-popular intercollegiate mascot race. Our hockey and soccer teams were also caught in some nail biter matches, but just missed out on finals despite putting in strong performances throughout their respective competitions. Sport in first semester began with Rowing Day, a huge event on the College calendar. After three weeks training with 5am starts, crews had impressive results. The women’s team, looking slick in new rowing suits, won silver in the finals. In second semester, our football and netball teams had their first matches before the winter break was even over, launching the two longest seasons of the College year. After an extensive five-week competition, the men’s football team took home a third in the Firsts Football and came runners up in the Seconds. The Seconds Netball team brought home our second premiership for the year and the Firsts team were runners up. Huge congratulations must go to the Seconds Netball team, who have won the premiership back-to-back.

Our volleyball teams made the finals, improving their games during the tournament. The final sport for the year was badminton, where the skill of our mixed team dominated the competition and closed the year by bringing home our third premiership for the year. Congratulations to all those involved for finishing the year with such flair. As sports representatives, we had the privilege of running Vote Counts for the cricket/softball and football/netball seasons, events that celebrate the players and their efforts on the field. The biannual Students vs Tutors soccer match was also held in semesters one and two, with the tutors taking home the newly acquired trophy in semester one, and the students bringing it back to where it belonged in semester two. Sport for 2016 wrapped up with a memorable Sports Dinner, where the most valuable players for each sport were announced among other highly regarded sporting awards for the year. We were fortunate to have Simon Hogan formerly of the Geelong Football Club as a guest speaker. Simon’s address to the students was captivating, and one they are likely never to forget. To end our celebration of College sporting success, we announced our Sportsman (Will Mills) and Sportswomen (Olivia Bridgman and Mia Fallon) of the year. We would like to thank everyone who was involved in St Hilda’s Sport in 2016, we wouldn’t have had such a successful year without you. Good luck to the General Committee of 2017, in particular the Sports Representatives, Bec Johns and Will Monahan – we have every bit of faith that you will do an amazing job.

University games We had a record number of St Hilda’s students competing in the 2016 University Games, representing the University of Melbourne. We would like to recognise their sporting excellence and congratulate them on their commitment and passion.

This year St Hilda’s College Theatre presented The Drowsy Chaperone at Union House Theatre on 2 and 3 September. A cast of 50 students across all year levels (including a cameo performance by our very own Student Club President) performed alongside our backstage crew and band. Auditions and rehearsals started early in first semester under the creative direction of Mia Wisniewski and Loretta Gasparini. Brittany Nugent and Luci Alexander were the choreographers and music direction was provided by Emma McMahon and Chris Melton. As conveners, we were given the creative freedom to select and produce our very own musical. Our team brought a range of talents and skills needed to organise audition schedules and weekly rehearsals, order cast t-shirts, compile a backstage crew, budget, fundraise and much more. This year-long commitment gave us the opportunity to improve our teamwork skills, grow as leaders and represent the talents of St Hilda’s College in the creative arts.

To support our vision, the convener team organised several fundraising events, including selling chocolate boxes and hosting an intra-college Assassins Week, and we introduced a community barbecue to the fundraising portfolio, which was a great success. We are grateful to the new sponsorship partnership with The Shaw Davey Slum in addition to the financial and moral support given by the College administration and Student Club. The Drowsy Chaperone was honoured by being nominated four times in the 2016 Union House Theatre Awards. Catherine De Luca and Carl Gasparini were nominated for Best Performance in a Musical and the production also received nominations for most Outstanding Production and Best Dance/ Choreography. We are especially proud to announce that Catherine won her nominated category for her brilliant performance as Woman in Chair. Congratulations Catherine! Overall, it was the prevailing Communitas sprit that inspired the creation of this wacky, wonderful show and made our role as conveners endlessly entertaining and enjoyable.

Music Conveners Report BY JACOB KAYE, CALLUM LA NE, CLAUDI A WORTM AN N A N D I N EZ ZH EN G

The biggest highlights of the 2016 musical year were Open Turn, held for the first time at the Workers Club in Fitzroy, and the Music and Variety Night formal dinners. This year, the Music conveners and committee added two new events to the Hildarian calendar. The introduction of First Sunday Back 2.0 Acoustic Night, in collaboration with the social director, was well received and we hope it will be carried on by the incoming conveners. We also introduced an Open Mic night early in first semester, which provided a platform for our talented students to showcase their abilities. Credit must be given to the General Committee for helping us purchase new equipment for the music room and particular thanks given to Funktions Director Tom Carman for liaising with the Workers Club for us in preparation for Open Turn. We received widespread positive feedback throughout the year and are indebted to the committee for the wonderful help we received for making 2016 such a fantastic musical year in the Hilda’s community. We can’t wait to see how great 2017 will be under the new conveners and we wish them the best of luck.

College Ball Report BY S O P H IE S I M PS O N , KAT HRINE CL AR K E , A N N E L I S E O’ KA NE AND C AS SA N D R A M A ROT TA

On the evening of 10 August, there was much anticipation and excitement at the Melbourne Pavilion, when it brought our Bright Lights, Big City Ball to life. The first guests to arrive were the members of the General and Ball committees and the generous contributors to our fundraising event, who were guided up to the VIP balcony that overlooked the ballroom for a glamorous start to the ball. Meanwhile, back at College champagne was served to guests while they eagerly waited for the buses to arrive and take them to the venue. Upon arrival, they enjoyed drinks and canapés before the doors to the main ballroom were opened to reveal the sparkling lights of the grand chandelier and matching centrepieces. Our guests took their seats for the main meal before the DJ began spinning discs and the guests danced the night away. We were fortunate to have an incredible committee to help us with organising this spectacular event to ensure everything ran smoothly. It was a memorable night and the months of hard work were worth it when we saw how much our guests were enjoying themselves. We were also proud that the proceeds from our Bright Lights, Big City Ball would support our chosen charity, The Lighthouse Foundation.

Communitas Committee Report BY A M A R PAT E L AND LAU RA WA LKE R

It’s been an exciting and busy year for the Communitas Committee with our efforts predominantly focused on supporting cancer research. We began our fundraising for the McGrath Foundation by holding a Pink Stumps Day in March. From selling pink ribbons and holding a gold coin donation afternoon tea we managed to raise more than $250 for the charity. We saw a great day of intercollegiate cricket, watching our first XI team out on the oval sporting the pink cricket gear supplied by the foundation. Following this event, in April around 80 St Hilda’s students took part in Relay for Life at Albert Park. We received a lot of support from the wider St Hilda’s community and this, along with our own fundraising efforts, led us to an outstanding fundraising total of $4,080 for the Cancer Council. In College tradition, we indulged in anonymous Easter gift giving over the Easter period before we had the mid-semester break. Angels and Mortal’s

week started with each participant (an angel) assigned a student (a mortal) for the week where they did three kind things for them anonymously. It was a great way to promote Communitas throughout the College and spread some positivity.

Our current statistics from this project show that the blood donated by our students has contributed to saving 84 lives.

Our main event for the year was Gala Night, held at the end of August. This was a fantastic evening with many parents, friends and students attending. Sue Bartlett, a McGrath Breast Care Nurse, gave an insightful presentation about her experiences and the work that the McGrath Foundation does. With the tremendous support that we received, Gala Night raised $13,000 for the McGrath Foundation. We are sincerely grateful to our committee and for the support we received from the entire College community. With this support, our fundraising efforts for the year came to more than $17,000.

The College community then got involved in donating blood, a project that was organised by our committee member Rachel Masin. Our current statistics from this project show that the blood donated by our students has contributed to saving 84 lives.

College News and Administration BY ROB LANCASTER

If you read back over past Business Manager reports, you will notice there are consistent themes throughout. I always write these reports when the College is looking spectacular. The lawns and gardens are green, the buildings are neat and tidy and there are numerous tradesmen scurrying around the CollegeÂ grounds. The College has long held the view that we will continue to improve in all facets ofÂ College life. The facilities are a central part of this. The main objective is to improve student facilities continually, and do this with the environment and the security and safety of residents in mind. Tutors and staff play an important supporting role for students, so it is important their facilities improve continually too.

During summer 2016/17, the College undertook its biggest ever project over a summer break, with the complete refurbishment of D Block. While this is an exciting project, there were many important, albeit significantly smaller, projects undertaken last summer. We created another student room, although we had to give up the A Block laundry to do so. But we thought it was worth it, to provide an additional student with the opportunity of a St Hilda’s experience. We also replaced all the heaters in EFG Block and provided new beds, chairs and other furniture in various student rooms. From the perspective of student amenity and also safety, we have been replacing all windows in the College over the past few years. The windows in A Block were replaced last year and this project will be completed with D Block this year. For staff, the kitchen bathrooms were completely refurbished and a new staff bathroom was built at the back of EFG Block. With apologies to former tutors, A Flat was refurbished and all tutor apartments now enjoy air conditioning. St Hilda’s is one of the smaller colleges, with limited space, but we feel strongly that we punch above our weight.

It’s a variation on a common theme, but the key to a student’s heart is through his or her stomach. The catering provided by the committed chefs at St Hilda’s has enjoyed an excellent reputation for many years, both from inside and outside the College. During 2016, we raised the bar even further, with the appointment of new Catering Manager and Head Chef, Thomas Balmer. Thomas has made a significant difference since starting in July. Being Swiss, he has brought a whole new variety of flavours and dishes to lunches and dinners.

We feel strongly that we punch above our weight. Our visitors on Open Day are usually swept up in the enthusiasm of our student tour guides and the enormous pride they take showing visitors around the College. This year, however, they also benefitted from the amazing variety of healthy food on display to further enhance their Open Day experience. We are very happy to have Thomas on board.
