YES Otago is incredibly proud of our two St Hilda’s Collegiate teams — Nature’s Prime and DonateMate — who shone on the national stage!

Nature’s Prime impressed the judges by redefining leather care with premium, all‑natural products that combine performance and sustainability. Their achievement earned them $1,000, plus an additional $1,000 for their school.
Both teams were recognised with National Excellence awards for excelling in their fields, each receiving $1,000 in prize money:
