Thank you for exploring the opportunity and trusting our school to support the growth and development of your child whilst she lives within our community.
Adolescent development is a challenging time for all children and therefore it is important that there is a strong partnership between our staff and our parents whilst our boarders grow and mature.
Creating a place where each boarder belongs has a significant impact on your daughters’ enjoyment, engagement and personal development. Therefore, St Hilda’s aims to provide effective care, strong connections and a positive community environment from the moment our families step foot on campus.
With 170 boarders living onsite we have educated and empathetic staff that live on campus, sharing the community life of our boarders. The supervision and safety is top priority, but we also recognise that social and academic development assists our girls to gain individual success. Our prep program is designed to enhance academic potential and personal fulfilment. With six residential tutors living onsite, along with the Head of Boarding, Head of Senior Boarding, Head of Junior Boarding, Our Connection and Activities Co-ordinator and their families, boarders have access to young and mature aged role models that assist and support our boarders with life balance.
Our Big Sister Leadership Platform and Student Ambassadors and Committees assist us to provide opportunities for leadership and service learning, and develop a confident voice within their own community.
Our Wellbeing Program maintains health, engages with our community, accesses career pathways and provides a myriad of activities that our beachy environment allows us to engage with.
Throughout the boarding journey students develop a great sense of independence, inclusivity and compassion for others, aligned with our Anglican traditions, our School motto, Non Nobis Solum - Not for Ourselves Alone and our values of Love, Compassion, Forgiveness, Hope and Grace.
Our boarders have a significant impact on the life of our school providing diversity, school spirit and resilience. I welcome our families to view our program in action by following our Boarding Instagram and Facebook platforms @sthildasboarding.
