Testimonials – what others have to say about Chilton

We are in the process of tracking down a range of our current students, parents and staff to ask them how they feel about Chilton. 

Thank you so much for this very positive feedback about Courtney’s work in Materials Technology.  We are incredibly proud of her achievements while she has been at Chilton and although she is very humble about this deep down we know she is very proud of herself also.  We can hardly believe that Courtney is the same child who told us in Year 7 that she would be leaving School after Year 11! The wonderful support and encouragement that she has received from various teachers, such as yourself, has been a huge part of this change in her.

Recent 2010 graduate and winner of the Chilton Old Girls' Association Prize for Top Scholar in the Senior School and Cup for Dux, Mindy Hu, recently wrote to us to reflect the following on her time at Chilton:

"I had not been a Chilton student for a long time, but please allow me to say that I do feel a special pride when I remember myself in a smart red blazer.
 
“Thinking of school life at Chilton brings back many positive memories. What I am most grateful for is the feeling of community, both within the students and the staff. The class of 2010 were such a tight knit community, where everyone did their best for each others' sake. The feeling of being in a team, with our own headquarters (the common room) was really invaluable. My teachers, too, were really wonderful, in their rapport with the students, the extra support that they gave me, and most of all, in the genuine concern they showed for their young charges.
 
“Chilton was an environment which nurtured me, and helped me to grow as a person. When I look back, it is not any personal achievement, but this feeling of belonging to a caring community, which makes me say, without a doubt, that I made the right choice in coming. Indeed, in being a Chilton girl, what I am most proud of is being part of such an encouraging, righteous group of young women. For all that this school has given me, I must express my deepest thanks.”
