2022 Year 12 Achievements
Ultimately our girls want to perform well because they are motivated and inspired to do so.
Principal, Fiona Johnston
Every year our Year 12s excel across a range of academic and non-academic pursuits. We would like to congratulate each and every one of our graduates on the successful completion of their formal education and wish them all the best for their futures.
At the heart of St Hilda’s Reimagined is the importance of a holistic education, celebrating and recognising each girl’s strengths and achievements. St Hilda’s is exceptionally proud of our girls’ achievements and the work that our staff do to ensure that all girls achieve their personal best.

More than an ATAR
St Hilda’s will always be committed to each girl achieving their academic potential, however, the School shares a strong philosophy that our girls are more than an ATAR.
Recent changes in tertiary entrance requirements now allow students wishing to access a university degree several entry options. UWA, for example, recently shared that they are now recognising different types of students, acknowledging new pathways to learning, accrediting more than just a student’s academic achievements, valuing the necessity for fast-paced skill and information acquisition and providing for early engagement and stackable credentials to enable a lifelong learning journey. This is common across many Australian universities and has been happening for years in northern hemisphere universities.
Of interest, over 85% of St Hilda’s 2022 graduates were accepted into university through an early offer, prior to receiving their ATAR.
If you would like to read more about why we have chosen to focus on our girls being more than an ATAR, our principal has published two opinion pieces which you can read below.
Finally, Year 12 graduates are more than an ATAR
