Why Board at St Hilda's?

Perth is one of the world's friendliest and most liveable cities. St Hilda’s is located 15 minutes from the city in Mosman Park. Ideally situated in a residential area between the river and ocean, St Hilda’s offers a safe and idyllic environment.   Free from the pollution and stranger danger of major roads, boarders enjoy parklands and the river in a secure setting. 

Located in the centre of the School, the Boarding House is an award-winning facility which has been tailored to meet teenagers’ needs.  Each room is designed to create a sense of individuality, and features fresh, bold colours  There are generous bathroom facilities, numerous and varied social areas and mini-kitchens complete with microwaves, toasters and drink-making facilities for those all important snacks!
 
Aside from the School’s beautiful outdoor spaces, the Boarding House has it own garden and courtyards. The perimeter areas of the Boarding House are secure to ensure that students can enjoy the outdoor areas at night in safety.   Security guards patrol the School at night for added peace of mind.

Boarders have access to excellent facilities - tennis courts, a swimming pool, a large oval for team games, two gymnasiums and a BBQ area are just some. The Library and computer labs are open until late each school night and during weekends so boarders always have the option of studying!

Life as a boarder is quite social. Informal and organised activities include going to the movies, river cruises, music concerts and socialising with boarders from other schools including our brother school – Christ Church Grammar.
 
Boarders have many opportunities to participate in the management of the Boarding House.  There are leadership roles on the Boarding Council for each Year group, Peer Support for Year 11 students and Prefect positions for Year 12,  as well as a Food Committee which consults with the Head of Boarding and Chef about the all-important decision of what is served in the dining room.
