Welcome to St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls, one of the leading independent private schools in Perth, offering day and boarding for girls from Junior Kindergarten to Year 12. Our families come from across Perth’s western suburbs, including Mosman Park, Cottesloe, Claremont, Nedlands, Dalkeith, and Subiaco, with boarders joining us from regional Western Australia and interstate. For more than 130 years, St Hilda’s has inspired girls from Junior Kindergarten to Year 12 to achieve their personal best through academic excellence, a strong sense of belonging and exceptional opportunities.
From the earliest years, girls are supported to develop strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and critical thinking through evidence-informed teaching and learning. As they progress through the School, they are empowered to explore their interests and strengths through innovative programs in entrepreneurship, leadership, outdoor education, sport, music and the arts.
As one of the few non-selective private schools in Perth, St Hilda’s is recognised for outstanding academic outcomes, a strong culture of belonging and wellbeing, and a commitment to helping every girl develop the confidence, character and capability to thrive in an ever-changing world.
At St Hilda’s, we spark extraordinary futures.
St Hilda’s cultivates a nurturing environment where extraordinary dreams, connections, experiences, and futures come to life. Our students are encouraged to explore their unique strengths and set ambitious goals, supported by personalised learning and innovative teaching that fosters creativity and confidence. Through diverse cocurricular activities and experiential learning, students develop their talents, build resilience, and form lifelong connections.
St Hilda’s is leading the way in introducing a compulsory innovative program for Years 5 to 10, incorporating entrepreneurialism, as part of each girl’s educational curriculum journey.
Using an entrepreneurial mindset, we ask girls to solve problems through the lens of sustainability. It takes a cross curricular approach, applying Science, Technology, English, Arts and Maths to achieve a project-based outcome.

Extraordinary Leadership at St Hilda’s is about inspiring and empowering others to achieve their best. Our leaders are visionary, compassionate, and committed to fostering a culture of academic excellence, guiding both students and staff towards a future of limitless possibilities.
In a girls’ school, every leadership role, every team and every subject is filled by a girl, so girls take on maths, science, sport, music and the stage without hesitation. At St Hilda’s, that confidence is built through real experience, from our entrepreneurship program in Years 5 to 10 to the Year 9 Wandering Spirit Program and outdoor education from Year 2.
Many girls tell us they’re more willing to speak up, lead and take risks when the classroom is all girls. Research comparing single-sex and mixed settings supports this, finding girls are often more confident when they learn in a female environment. At St Hilda’s, that confidence is built deliberately, from the early years through to Year 12.
There’s no single right answer, and it depends on the individual girl. What an all-girls school reliably offers is an environment designed around how girls learn and lead, where every subject, team and leadership role is held by a girl. For many families, that focus on confidence and full participation is what tips the decision.
St Hilda’s brings together academic breadth and distinctive programs: an entrepreneurship program from Year 5, the Year 9 Wandering Spirit Program, and outdoor education from Year 2 at our own Yeagarup campus. As an Anglican day and boarding school, we bring girls from across Perth and regional WA together in one community.
Applications are made online, and we recommend registering early as places in some year groups fill quickly. Our enrolment team will guide you through each stage of the Enrolment process.
